If the bridge is used for a long time, due to alternate cycles of stress and strain the bridge gradually loses its elastic property and finally reaches to a condition called elastic fatigue. Hence, at this stage, the strain produced for a given stress will be very large and ultimately the bridge may collapse. Hence, bridges are declared unsafe after a long use.
