摘要: |
The goal of bridge management is to determine and implement the best possible strategy that ensures an adequate level of safety at the lowest possible life-cycle cost. Although this is generally recognized, the integration of life-cycle cost analysis with bridge reliability analysis has been very limited. Moreover, this has been formulated and illustrated only for individual bridges. A framework for optimal network-level bridge maintenance planning based on minimum expected cost is presented. The goal is the minimization of the expected maintenance cost of a bridge stock with maintenance of the lifetime reliability of each bridge above an acceptable (target) level. The approach is illustrated for a stock of realistic highway bridges. Individual bridges in this stock have different ages, and their reliabilities are time dependent. The framework offers a rational basis for optimizing the resource allocation for management of a stock of gradually deteriorating bridges based on balancing life-cycle maintenance cost and lifetime reliability. This has important practical implications in the development of the optimal management strategy for the bridge stock. |
