Abstract
As a structure becomes older and older it shows wear and tear due to ageing, exposure to weather or environment and structurally unplanned modifications which affect the health of the structure significantly. Hence condition assessment of structure is necessity for ensuring that the structure and its premises are safe and under no risks condition. The need of condition assessment is also for maintenance and repairs of existing structures whose life has exceeded the age of 30 years so as to avoid any mishaps and save valuable human life. In this paper condition assessment for bridge structure has been carried out using different Non-destructive test methods like surface ultrasonic pulse velocity test, rebound hammer, half cell potential methods and cover meter. DER rating technique is used to find out the condition of bridge in terms of Condition Index (CI).
Keywords- Condition Assessment, Non -destructive testing, DER rating, condition-Index.
