In the case of bridges, the impact of dynamic influences on their individual structural components is particularly important. The article aims to present the scale of this impact on the example of road viaducts located over the Experimental Track of the Railway Institute in Zmigrod. In particular, the impact of dynamic impacts on individual structural elements of the bridges and the extent of damage found during detailed inspections of these structures during their 30-year service life are described. Based on their analysis of the type and extent of damage, the showed that the impact is significant and mainly affects the bodies of viaduct embankments due to the gradual deconsolidation of soil structures in the immediate vicinity of the railroad track.
