ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper are to develop an inspection support system for bridge asset management and to report the results of the application for bridges under the jurisdiction of a self-governing body. In most cases, conventional inspection systems are independent systems specialized only for inspection, accordingly such systems usually do not collect condition states data etc. necessary for forecasting deterioration and calculating the life cycle cost (LCC). In this paper, the functions for recording the inspection results, the kinds of data, and system configurations, are introduced regarding the inspection support system for the purpose of acquiring the data necessary for bridge asset management. Furthermore, an example is presented for building a data set as the core for asset management by collecting inspection data on the condition states of each bridge member, applying this system to 742 bridges in Aomori prefecture.
