Abstract
Recently, the rehabilitation of bridges has become a major social
concern because the deterioted bridges have increased in Japan.
Thus the necessity of developing a practical bridge management
system points out. The present study is an attempt to develop a new
bridge management system (J-BMS) for deteriorated concrete
bridges. The proposed J-BMS not only evaluates the performance of
bridges but also offers the rehabilitation strategy based on a
combination of maintenance cost minimization and quality
maximization. Furthermore, application to existing concrete bridges
is presented so as to demonstrate the validity of the proposed bridge
management system.
