Book Description
Highway departments around the world are faced with the dilemma of providing improved operations on a "shoe string budget". Even after the much needed infrastructure funding is received, the question of which project comes first must be answered. Written by a 20-year veteran with the Kansas Department Of Transportation Bridge Office in design and in maintenance. Highway Bridge Maintenance Planning and Scheduling provides Senior Bridge Maintenance Engineers or "Senior Squad Leaders", practical advice for creating an effective maintenance program that will allow them to not only plan, schedule, direct and monitor highway bridge repair and rehabilitation project but also evaluate all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity and unit-cost standards. Provides the tools and methods for building and maintaining and effective maintenance planning and scheduling organization Provides experience-based suggestions for evaluating highway bridges and determining maintenance priorities Methods for evaluating all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity and unit-cost standards.
Bridge Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation
Author: A.S. NowakPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400921535
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 618
Book Description
Evaluation, repair and rehabilitation of bridges are increasingly important topics in the effort to deal with the deteriorating infrastructure. For example, in the United States about 40 percent of the nation's 570,000 bridges are classified, according to the Federal Highway Administra tion's (FHW A) criteria, as deficient and in need of rehabilitation and replacement. In other countries the situation is similar. FHW A estimates the cost of a bridge replacement and reha bilitation program at 50 billion dollars. The major factors that have contributed to the present situation are: the age, inadequate maintenance, increasing load spectra and environmental contamination. The deficient bridges are posted, repaired or replaced. The disposition of bridges involves clear economical and safety implications. To avoid high costs of replacement or repair, the evaluation must accurately reveal the present load carrying capacity of the struc ture and predict loads and any further changes in the capacity (deterioration) in the applicable time span. Accuracy of bridge evaluation can be improved by using the recent developments in bridge diagnostics, structural tests, material tests, structural analysis and probabilistic methods. There is a need for an international exchange of advanced experience to increase the research effi ciency. The Workshop is organized on the premise that the exchange of existing American and European experience in the area of bridge evaluation, repair and rehabilitation is beneficial for both parties involved.
