With increasing age of the concrete road bridges, the highly topical question is to determine their reliability and load-bearing capacity level required for the residual life of the structure. Doctoral thesis presents a comprehensive methodology for assessing the reliability of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges based on non-linear finite element method damage and failure virtual simulations at both deterministic and stochastic levels. Load-bearing capacity values are specified by the structure’s design load capacity estimation by global safety factor methods or they are based on a fully probabilistic load capacity analysis using the direct resistance estimation. For the fully probabilistic calculations, the simulation technique Latin Hypercube Sampling is used.
