Algorithm for the Planning of Optimum Highway Work Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Work zones often cause traffic congestion on high volume roads. As traffic volumes increase so does work zone-related traffic congestion and so does the public demand for road agencies to decrease both their number and ...
Supply and Demand System Approach to Development of Bridge Management Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A supply and demand system approach is presented to deal with the inability of existing bridge management systems to determine optimal management strategies when multiple bridges may be adversely affected simultaneously. ...
Effect of Common Cause Failures on Indirect Costs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Next generation bridge management systems will take into consideration multiple hazard scenarios and not only traffic loading and structural deterioration as they do now. The indirect costs used in these bridge management ...
Condition Evolution in Bridge Management Systems and Corrosion-Induced Deterioration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Condition assessment in the Swiss bridge management system (KUBA-MS) is performed on the element level. Five condition states are defined based on visual appearance. In order to forecast the condition states of any given ...
