Abstract
In the last decades, bridge engineering has gained unremitting and increasing attention from researchers, engineering companies and public administrations because, due to aging of structures and changes in codes, existing bridges are often not able to ensure the expected structural safety and performance. The proposed thesis will reflect original research studies on numerical modelling and structural assessment of real bridges with corroded reinforced concrete members.
