ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The paper proposes a model to include three interlinked management, assessment and maintenance for bridges. A computerized database is additional suggested in this model.
1 INTRODUCTION
Emphasis has recently placed on the new constructions, but not for maintenance management through bridge lifespan. Inappropriate maintenance causes bridges to be degraded by lack of durability and serviceability. Present practice moreover highlights on site-works, but not for management and assessment. Thus, the research is initiated with objective to propose an appropriate bridge maintenance management system. It is to balance between limited resource and high maintenance demands so bridges can be maintained at reasonable quality and functionality.
