Numerical modeling is a very useful tool in different fields of bridge engineering, such as load-carrying capacity assessment or structural health monitoring. Developing reliable computational model that accurately represents the actual mechanical behavior entails advanced FEM-based complemented by comprehensive experimental campaign provides necessary supporting information and allows validati...

Abstract In Japan, bridge inspections are compulsorily performed in 5‐year cycles. With the institutionalization of inspection cycle, essential data have been continuously accumulated. However, effective utilization requires trend analysis and causal for a group bridges. this study, method determining factors affecting deterioration is established. The concrete steel bridges with Bayesian netwo...
