DESCRIPTION:Alfred STRAUSS\, Associate Professor\nInstitute of Structural 
 Engineering\, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences\, Vienna\,
  Austria\nAssessment and monitoring concepts for bridges become more and m
 ore important in the intervention planning (e.g.\, maintenance\, repair\, 
 rehabilitation\, replacement) for new and existing bridges. Nevertheless\,
  there is still a strong demand for the development and efficient use of n
 ovel techniques for monitoring and assessment of bridges. These techniques
  affect intervention and maintenance strategies and in consequence cost op
 timization concepts. Therefore\, the objective of this talk is to highligh
 t the recent developments in science and practice and to formulate the nex
 t necessary steps\, in order to support in (a) a quantitatively well ascer
 tained remaining service life\, (b) optimization of inspection periods\, (
 c) identification of critical structural components for the overall condit
 ion and consequently (d) cost- efficient maintenance.
