N2 - A representative composite bridge has been selected by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the international collaboration between the Long Term Bridge Performance Project (LTBP) initiated in the USA and the FP7 Project IRIS in Europe. Various teams from the USA, Japan, Korea, UK and EU have performed separate assessment routines including dynamic monitoring and system identification. The various approaches were compared and harmonised in order to achieve a standard model for this type of bridge, representing more than 40% of the bridge stock in the FHWA network. This comprises a total of about 240.000 bridges which could subsequently be tested and assessed following a standard procedure. The present paper intends to present a strongly life-cycle oriented approach, developed within the IRIS Project. This is based on a dynamic monitoring campaign and an accompanying visual inspection at the Bridge Object 1618-150, New Jersey.
