Management of Highway Structures

Internationally, as bridge stocks grow older, signs of deterioration are becoming increasingly evident. An alarming backlog has resulted from the rapid growth of maintenance needs without methods for prioritizing essential work. As a result, the bridge engineering profession has taken steps to develop databases and comprehensive bridge management systems, developing a new technology in the interface between bridge engineering and financial planning. This book introduces the latest developments in this emerging field to engineers, accountants and financial decision-makers. In it, representatives of bridge authorities as well as international experts address the important political and socio-economic needs, and detail the engineering and financial tools being developed. It is these tools which represent the first applications of some of the state-of-the-art developments in bridge management methodology. Covers: bridge management methodologies currently available or under development; procedural standards for whole life assessment, for determining the appropriate interim safety measures for structures assessed to be substandard, and for life cycle costing of highway structures; new segmental inspection and reliability based assessment procedures; and computer based maintenance bid assessment and structures database systems.
