Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish a suitable structural system for the restoration of the destroyed part of the pedestrian bridge, which is a part of a hydrocomplex built along the Arda River (Bulgaria), and to improve the vulnerable details in the original structure, taking into account the seismic hazard on the site. The decision is also dictated by the choice of a construction method that does not interfere the Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) that is built along the river with the normal operation of which the subject is connected. The appropriate selection of materials and modelling of the overall behaviour of the old and new parts of the bridge are the basis of the optimal solution for interference with the structure and the possibility of extending its service life. It is also important to preserve the visual unity of the whole structural complex, thus preserving the original appearance and good construction practice from the time they have been built during the middle of the 20th century This design solution is part of an investment project of "Risk Engineering" Ltd.
