Structural and functional conditions of bridges and viaducts on federal highways in Pernambuco

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the structural and functional conditions of 332 bridges and viaducts on federal highways in Pernambuco, adopting as a methodology the database of the National Department of Infrastructure of Transportation (DNIT) and structural inspections on a selected sample. The information obtained was analyzed according to the criteria of DNIT Standard 010/2004 - PRO and ABNT Standard NBR 9452/2016. It is the first survey in Brazil with such a large quantity of structures utilizing two normative systems. Even with the limitations present in this type of study, the conclusions show that it is a significant contribution to the improvement of Brazilian highways bridges that, in general, suffer from the same problems that were found in the bridges analyzed.
