Abstract

Notable accidents that the diagonal members of the steel truss bridges have broken due to the corrosion damage have occurred recently. Therefore it is expected to establish the rational and efficient maintenance management technique depending on the bridge types and structure characteristics. In this study, for the corroded gusset plate connection of the steel truss bridge which was cut out from the steel truss bridge, we measured the corrosion shape in detail using the laser measurement equipment, and evaluated the actual state of the surface corrosion outside and inside of the gusset plate connection.
