I. Executive Summary
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the structural integrity of the Blue Bridge both before and after undergoing renovation. Various parameters such as load-bearing capacity, materials used, and structural deformations were examined and recommendations for future maintenance are provided.
II. Introduction
A. Objective
The main objective of this report is to assess the Blue Bridge structural performance and safety both pre- and post-renovation.
B. Background
The Blue Bridge, constructed in 2025, has shown signs of aging and wear. A renovation was completed in March 2050 to address these issues.
III. Methodology
A. Data Collection
-
Site Inspections
-
Material Sampling
-
Load Testing
B. Analytical Methods
-
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
-
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
-
Comparative Method (pre- vs post-renovation data)
IV. Pre-Renovation Analysis
A. Structural Integrity
Prior to renovation, the bridge exhibited significant degradation in several key areas:
-
Cracks in the concrete deck
-
Rust and corrosion on steel supports
-
Decreased load-bearing capacity
