    1. The document discusses instrumentation of railway bridges in India to assess their condition and suitability for current and future loads. 2. It advises all zonal railways to undertake instrumentation of bridges that are over 80 years old, new iconic bridges with non-standard spans, bridges requiring assessment of residual life under present and expected future loads, and bridges being certified for higher axle loads or speeds. 3. Zonal railways are instructed to identify applicable bridges and submit an action plan for instrumentation to the Railway Board, engaging expert institutions like IITs to handle the instrumentation work.

    All Zonal Railways

    Sub: Instrumentation of Railway Bridges

    Indian Railway has large number of old bridges on existing lines. These
    old bridges were designed for earlier loading standards and their suitability is
    required to be checked to meet loading standards of present day/future traffic.
    Condition of these old bridges are required to be ascertained to obtain their
    residual life under existing load. In addition, Railways is constructing many
    Iconic bridges as a technological challenge to provide connectivity to various
    parts of country. These iconic bridges have unique design and therefore their
    actual performance in field is required to be monitored with respect to the design
    parameters.
    All zonal railways are accordingly advised to undertake instrumentation of
    bridges in the following categories:
    1. Older Important Bridge having age more than 80 years.
    2. New Iconic bridges having Non-Standard spans.
    3. Residual life of bridges based on prevailing and expected future loads.
    4. Certifying bridges for higher axle load and higher speed.
    5. Bridges continuing LWR based on RSI analysis.

    All zonal railways should identify bridges based on above criteria and
    prepare an action plan for instrumentation which shall be submitted to Board
    also. It is advised that instrumentation shall be planned through premier
    institutes like IITs or other agencies having proven technologies and experience.

    This issues with the approval of M/Infra.
