A study towards the application of Markovian deterioration processes for bridge maintenance modelling in the Netherlands
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infrastructures in the Netherlands are rated according to a discrete condition scheme and the results are registered in an extensive database. The paper discusses the application of a continuous-time Markov process for modelling deterioration and introduces new results for optimizing periodic inspections and preventive maintenance. The focus of this discussion is on the condition of superstructures of concrete highway bridges in the Netherlands for which 19 years of inspection data are available.

Strategic Planning for the National Bridge Stock of Iran
The National Bridge Stock of Iran consists of about 330,000 bridges, of which around 50% are older than 30 years. Since 2010, Iran Road Maintenance & Transportation Organization has started implementing a comprehensive Bridge Management System in order to manage this aged stock efficiently. To predict future conditions of bridge stock, a heuristic numerical method is presented. This methodology...
متن کاملHistory-Dependent Bridge Deck Maintenance and Replacement Optimization with Markov Decision Processes
Bridge maintenance and replacement optimization methods use deterioration models to predict the future condition of bridge components. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for bridge maintenance optimization using a deterioration model that takes into account aspects of the history of the bridge condition and maintenance, while allowing the use of efficient optimization technique...
متن کاملDevelopment and Practical Application of a Lifetime Management System for Prestressed Concrete Bridges
A practical Bridge Management System has been developed by the author, which is referred to as the Japanese Bridge Management System (J-BMS) for existing concrete bridges. This paper introduces a newly developed bridge management system for the prestressed concrete (PC) bridges (J-BMS PC version) which is integrated with the PC bridge rating expert system (PC-BREX). The proposed system is able ...

This paper describes a method of performance evaluation and remaining life prediction for an aged reinforced concrete (RC) T-girder bridge by J-BMS RC version via close visual inspection data, and also verifies the assessment results obtained as outputs from the Bridge Rating Expert System (RC-BREX) which is a subsystem of the J-BMS, to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. The Bridge Manag...
متن کاملDevelopment and Practical Application of a Bridge Management System (J-BMS) in Japan
This paper presents a new bridge management system (J-BMS). It is integrated with a concrete bridge rating expert system that can be used to evaluate the serviceability of existing concrete bridges. The proposed J-BMS not only evaluates the performance of bridges, but also offers a rehabilitation strategy based on a combination of maintenance cost minimization and quality maximization. In this ...
