ABSTRACT
As a huge amount of structures built during the high economic growth period are approaching the end of their life, the extension of the longevity of bridges on a limited budget has become a crucial issue. Due to the retirement of a large number of maintenance engineers with expertise and lack of the young generation in this field, sustainability and knowledge transfer have become significant concerns. However, it is difficult to spend substantial money on infrastructure maintenance unlike construction. Therefore, advancing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is expected to lead to smart bridge maintenance. This paper reviews the research on the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and sensing to bridge maintenance, discuss their effects and challenges, and consider future directions.
