Assessment and monitoring concepts for bridges become more and more 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 novel techniques for monitoring and assessment of bridges. These techniques affect intervention and maintenance strategies and in consequence cost optimization concepts. Therefore, the objective of this talk is to highlight the recent developments in science and practice and to formulate the next necessary steps, in order to support in (a) a quantitatively well ascertained remaining service life, (b) optimization of inspection periods, (c) identification of critical structural components for the overall condition and consequently (d) cost- efficient maintenance.
