SS19: Implementation of bridge management administration in Japan Organizers: H. Furuta & E. Watanabe

The Osaka Prefectural Government has been building an asset management system for bridge structures. This system attempts to maintain existing bridges in good conditions and extend the remaining lives by introducing the concept of Life-Cycle Cost (LCC). It is, then, necessary to achieve a rational plan of resource allocation through the normalization of annual budget. In this paper, the asset management system developed by the Osaka Prefectural Government is described.
