Abstract: This paper developed a model for predicting the temporal failure probability of prestressed concrete (PC) highway bridges. The model updates predictions based on data from nondestructive testing and visual inspections. ...

Abstract: Mainstream bridge management systems use Markov chains of bridge condition ratings (CRs) to simulate temporal bridge health degradations and apply Markov decision processes to find optimal repair schemes. However, CR-based ...

Abstract: To date, various monitoring techniques have been developed to alert authorities of potentially precarious scour depths at bridge foundations. The adoption of such techniques, however, is worthwhile only if sufficient warning ...
