Abstract:The subject of this study is the inventory and assessment of the load-bearing capacity of a railway bridge. The analysis was conducted on a bridge with a concrete slab reinforced by steel beams as the load-bearing element. The structure is located in the village of Bukowina, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland. The aim of the study is to assess the load-bearing capacity of the bridge. The structure`s geometry was measured, and its concrete strength class determined. ; This article presents the results of stress limitation calculations for the tested bridge. Three calculation procedures based on two approaches - a concrete-encased beam and a bending section reinforced with rigid inserts - were applied. The analysis demonstrated that, despite the unesthetic appearance of the bridge, it meets the stress limitation requirements. Though over a hundred years old, the structure remains suitable for use today.
