What is the purpose of bridge analysis?

The purpose of bridge analysis is to evaluate the structural integrity and stability of bridges, as well as to identify any potential problems or deficiencies that may exist. This analysis includes evaluating the loads that the bridge can safely withstand, assessing the quality of the materials used, and identifying any design or construction issues that could compromise the overall safety and performance of the bridge. This information is used to develop strategies for maintenance, repair, and structural improvements to ensure the bridge remains safe and functional for its intended lifespan.
