Abstract
Statement of the problem. A lot of years of uncontrolled operation of the bridge have resulted in its supporting structures to an emergency condition. For further safe operation of the bridge, structural strengthening of almost all elements is required. Since their direct strengthening is impossible without violating the original appearance, we set the task of strengthening the structures indirectly by choosing permissible schemes and limit values of loads on the span on mathematical and physical models.Results. To solve this problem, we carried out and analyzed the results of qualitative and quantitative theoretical studies of the object of cultural heritage «The Oldenburg’s complex. Lovers Bridge. 1900». We carried out an instrumental inspection of the monument, designed and tested a laboratory model of the original structure.Conclusions. The data obtained as a result of comprehensive studies made it possible to assess the load-bearing capacity of the structures of the cultural heritage object, analyze the possibilities of loading the bridge span and make a conclusion about its further safe operation in modern conditions.
