Bridges are composed by many structural members which interact with each other to resist against various load combinations. In the present study, full-scale FE analyses have been conducted for a steel I-girder bridge system with corrosion damages which have been repaired. The analysis considered, the structural system behavior, varying the repaired areas. From the analytical results, it was found that, compared to the method in which the damaged portion is completely repaired, the amount of repair can be reduced by considering the bridge system behavior and partially repair both the damaged and the adjacent intact girders.
