Evaluation Procedure for Rehabilitation of Bridge

Abstract

Bridges have always played a very important role in the development of any nation. The bridges and aqueducts since long have been serving as an important link between areas separated either by a difficult terrain or a water body. The result is an improved communication infrastructure which further enhances development. During wars and battles bridges were always the first line of defence against enemy aggression. Destroying a bridge meant destroying an enemy supply line, this reduced the enemy resources and annihilated its morale thus bringing the enemy to his knees. That is why a very special emphasis has always been laid down on the protection of bridges during any conflict
