       Notes - general: The objectiveof this study is to develop reliablity
                        profiles and loads capacity factors profiles for
                        representative selected steel girder bridges.  To
                        accomplished this objective, a produre for the
                        reliability analysis of existing bridges is developed.
                        The relationship is also developed between the load
                        factor, and various rates of deterioration
                        (corrosion).  Structural safety is measured in terms
                        of the reliability index.  The reliability analysis is
                        performed for one year return periods of basic
                        variables.
