The article presents the results of a theoretical substantiation and practical implementation of organisational and technological solutions for repair, restoration and reconstruction works of bridge structures damaged during operation or as a result of emergency impacts. The proposed solutions are based on scientific developments of Kharkiv researchers in the field of construction technologies, reconstruction engineering and the use of modern composite and repair materials. Particular attention is paid to improving the efficiency of restoration processes under conditions of limited time, resources and the need to ensure uninterrupted operation of transport infrastructure facilities. A general concept for the restoration of bridge structures has been developed, which considers the entire life cycle of the facility - from inspection and assessment of technical condition to the selection of optimal organisational and technological measures, implementation of repair works and further monitoring of operational reliability. Based on this concept, an enlarged algorithm for making engineering decisions has been proposed. The algorithm allows the determination of the most effective restoration scenario depending on the degree of damage, operational conditions, economic feasibility and available technical resources. Several possible alternatives are considered, including conservation of the structure, partial strengthening, complete reconstruction or dismantling of the facility with subsequent replacement.
The developed calculation models and organisational-technological schemes include the use of modern repair technologies, high-performance equipment, fibre-reinforced composites, polymer-modified repair mortars and innovative methods for strengthening load-bearing structures. The proposed approaches enable optimisation of labour resources, reduction of construction and installation time, minimisation of traffic interruptions and improvement of occupational safety during repair works.
