Abstract

As civil infrastructure is ageing, the assessment of existing structures is becoming increasingly important. Current building codes have been developed for new design and are not efficient for assessment because of significant differences between these two situations. One of the main differences is the possibility to update information about an existing structure. The paper proposes how updating can be taken into account in the context of current code safety formats such as the LRFD and partial factor formats. Different sources of information for updating including on-site inspection, proof load testing and past performance of a structure are considered.
