Abstract
This paper is aimed at the reliability analysis of an existing reinforced concrete bridge from 1908. The load bearing capacity is assessed in accordance with valid standards using the partial factor method and probabilistic approach. Load bearing capacities obtained by these methods are critically compared. The application of probabilistic method leads to 40 % higher load bearing capacity then the partial factor method used for structural design.
