Systematische Nachrechnung des Brückenbestands in Mecklenburg‐Vorpommern.

Abstract: <bold>Systematic recalculation of the bridge inventory of Mecklenburg‐West Pomerania – Interaction between practice and research</bold> Since the implementation of the ‘Nachrechnungsrichtlinie' (German recalculation guideline, in short: NRR) in 2011, the assessment of existing road bridges has become increasingly the focus of research. When looking at older structures, a differentiated approach is necessary, because the old bridges have been designed and built according to former standards. To meet these requirements a step by step approach for the recalculation is provided. The continue updating of the guideline, which happened in April 2015 for the first time, will benefit from practice and research. The project ‐scientific and technical supervision for application of the German recalculation guideline on the bridge stock of Mecklenburg‐West Pomerania‐ (WTB) captures this idea and includes a systematic evaluation of the bridge inventory. The following contribution gives an overview about the prioritization of a typical bridge inventory of the former GDR (German Democratic Republic) and the collaboration of authorities, consultant engineers and researchers.
