Abstract


The paper deals with the reliability and durability of concrete and pre-stressed concrete bridges and with the decision-making processes and risks what to do with the bridge in a certain stage of life time. It describes the most frequently occurred failure causes within the realization, operation and reconstruction of the bridge structures. At the end there are mentioned some NDT methods, which are used in bridge diagnostics.
