Abstract

This paper discusses the structural and functional conditions of 332 bridges and viaducts on federal highways in Pernambuco, adopting as a methodology the database of the National Department of Infrastructure of Transportation (DNIT) and structural inspections on a selected sample. The information obtained was analyzed according to the criteria of DNIT Standard 010/2004 – PRO and ABNT Standard NBR 9452/2016. It is the first survey in Brazil with such a large quantity of structures utilizing two normative systems. Even with the limitations present in this type of study, the conclusions show that it is a significant contribution to the improvement of Brazilian highways bridges that, in general, suffer from the same problems that were found in the bridges analyzed.
