Recently, Korea Bridge Design Code(limit state design method) was introduced in 2012.However, Korea Infrastructure’s Safety Inspection Guideline are still following the bridge safety assessment. The assessment methods are classified according to material and bridge superstructure. Steel box girder bridge safety assessment was carried out by the A.S.D. In this study, introduce of steel box girder bridge safety assessment in accordance with the standards change.

Recently, Korea Bridge Design Code(KBDC) adapts to the Limit State Design method(L.S.D) in 2012 according to the liberalization of construction market and the flow of international standardization of the design criteria. However, Korea Infrastructure’s Safety Inspection Guideline(KISIG) are still following the bridge safety evaluation applying the A.S.D and U.S.D methods. In this study, introduction of PSC bridge safety evaluation with L.S.D considered the traditional safety evaluation compared to the ASD and USD methods.
