ABSTRACT
Bridge Management System has to deal with individual deterioration phenomena, deterioration forecast and effective measures for each deteriorations, which is called “Micro Management”, and at the same time has to deal with long term budget planning to maintain all bridges, which is called “Macro Management”. Since these two managements are quite different in their nature, it has been believed that these two managements should be treated differently, even though they are closely related. The authors have developed a new BMS, which treats both Micro Management and Macro Management in a closely related manner by introducing a “Maintenance Scenario” concept.
