ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Bridges are crucial points of the road traffic network. Great number of Croatian bridges like in other countries is designed using old codes. To reach the same level of safety, serviceability and durability of bridges on all traffic corridors, it is necessary to adopt temporary standards in their design. Croatian codes for bridge loading will be based on European codes with national load specifications. In this paper, the reliability of bridges, designed using previous codes, present Croatian and foreign codes is estimated.
