摘要: This project conceptualized, developed detailed requirements, constructed and deployed a bridge condition calculator based on Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sufficiency calculations. The calculator provides bridge inspectors two levels of support: (1)The tool allows bridge inspectors to effectively enter and edit bridge condition data. The tool also emulates the FHWA certified algorithm and provides real-time bridge rating. By providing instantaneous rating calculations bridge engineers and inspectors are enabled to: (a) Perform on-site what-if analyses to examine the influence of individual variables and their relationships to the overall sufficiency rating. (b) Explain and communicate why a specific bridge may or may not be eligible for federal funds due by accessing historic information and codified FHWA funding guidelines. (2)The tool provides an explanation for components of the algorithms to aid bridge engineers and inspectors in comprehending the ratings they assign to components.
