The evaluation and verification of the actual loads, load carrying capacity and prediction of the remaining life are often required for existing structures. The objective of the paper is to present some of diagnostic techniques and examples of their practical applications. Diagnostic equipment such as strain measurement devices, deflection measurement equipment, optical and laser devises, accelerometers, tiltmeters, acoustic emission and crack control equipment as well as diagnostic procedures have been described.
