| Abstract |
Because bridges can cause more significant damage than other infrastructure a certain level of safety shall necessarily be secured for users. As most of bridges’service life become 20-30 years there will be a dramatic increase in the maintenance and repair cost but the budget and human resource will be limited. Asset management technique can help the efficiency in maintenance and budget management with the limited resource. For its application, there must be a way to evaluate how bridges provide service to users. The level of service can be quantified by a performance measure. This study introduces performance measures and an evaluation process for the determination of level of service. The evaluation results will be used as a fundamental information in the determination of maintenance/repair/management targets and in the decision making process of the bridge asset management. |
