This volume covers a wide range of subjects of strength evaluation of existing concrete bridge structures: including condition survey, analytical investigation methods such as finite element analysis and modified compression field theory, in situ load testing, laboratory modeling and testing, deflection measurement methods, remote sensing techniques, and strategy for rating older concrete bridges. Case histories are also included.
