Civil Engineering updates their specs and standards more than anyone.
Something that was built 20 years ago to satisfy those older codes, could easily fail the current calculations.
I’ve seen it in the O&G industry where a company wants to duplicate a design from 20 years ago, but can’t do it because the changes in recent codes say the old design is unsatisfactory.

The bridge opened in 1952, it is deficient because it has deteriorated structurally due to its age not because the code changed.
