Bridge deck deterioration is a threat to bridge structures during their working life, it can cause economic impact, and loss of lives, leading to severe problems for the transportation industry. The structural condition assessment strategy is based on combing wavelet packet transform with correlation index, energy curvature difference and power spectrum density, as well to load distribution factor and neutral-axis shift. The research result is significant, and is it great value for its owner as it allows for making informed decisions regarding the maintenance and management of structures. This study can enable the users to be in continuous awareness of the structural condition for making informed decisions regarding the maintenance and management.
