Calibration of Bridge Performance Models Using Element Data

项目名称：	Calibration of Bridge Performance Models Using Element Data
摘要：	The research team will develop element deterioration models covering all bridge elements, including culverts, known as National Bridge Elements (NBEs) and Bridge Management Elements (BMEs), which shall forecast the probabilities that each statistically validated family of bridge elements and culverts will deteriorate to lower condition states within certain time frames. The research team will also develop, test and validate Element Health Indices (EHIs), and aggregate them into a Texas Bridge Health Index (TxBHI) representing the entire bridge or culvert, ensuring that it prioritizes at-risk structures while balancing overall maintenance needs. These products shall have a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 8 or higher, and be easily implementable into AASHTOWare BrM software and/or other desired Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) software. The project shall also use the deterioration forecasts in conjunction with the historical inspection database to identify and recommend structural details that warrant further improvements on design and construction specifications at TRL 2 or 3. All products shall be based on statistical analyses of a historical database with combined NBE, CoRe, NBI, climatic and environmental data.
