| Abstract: |
This paper presents the development of sustainable bridge maintenance and management system (BMMS) for concrete highway bridges of Thailand DOH. The methodology framework for designing the computer-based BMMS is presented. Six major processes of the proposed BMMS are briefly described including planning, inspecting, adjusting, predicting, alternative establishing, and implementing. Computer applications are developed to support the proposed BMMS program. Components of BMMS program are organized into a series of modules reflecting different bridge maintenance and management activities. The proposed computer-based BMMS provides comprehensive capabilities for condition rating, deterioration predicting, alternative generating, and scenarios prioritizing, as well as accomplishment tracking. Although the presented BMMS is developed for Thailand DOH, the methodology can easily be extended to other bridge agencies. |
