To provide a highly applicable tool, which can assess the damage level and traffic capacity of girder bridges accurately and quickly, we proposed a new rapid assessment model for girder bridges, which contains a vulnerability model with parameter modification and a fast evaluation method for traffic capacity. Based on this model, we developed a rapid assessment software for girder bridges, using Visual C++ and ArcGIS Engine, in which the damage level and traffic capacity of girder bridges post-quake can be highlighted with colourful segments in the road network. Furthermore, we illustrated the functions and usages of this software through an application example.
