Inspection and Repair of some Highway Bridges in Italy
Abstract This paper reports about the inspection and repair of a number of 25-year-old viaducts in service along the A3 highway linking central to southern Italy. Particular reference is made to dynamic tests that allowed useful information to be collected about the effective prestressing forces acting on the beams. The results obtained are compared with those derived from other in-situ tests. The criteria followed for the repair (or demolition) of the decks and for their seismic retrofitting are finally briefly presented.
