Publisher : TAC = ATC
Page : 91 pages
File Size : 22,8 MB
Release : 2004-01-01
Category : Bridges
ISBN : 9781551871585
Book Description
Many Canadian bridges have reached the end of their serviceable lives (50 to 80 years) and many more are approaching the same condition. In addition, the cost of bridge maintenance has been rising over the years and deficient bridges are becoming more prevalent. TAC's newly released Guide to Bridge Management provides tools and strategies for professionals to identify conditions and deficiencies, to assess needs and to evaluate costs, such that appropriate investments are made in the areas of greatest need. The Guide may also be a valuable reference tool for owners and consultants, providing assistance in the judgment of engineering services for bridge management, on the basis of a common terminology and attributes.

A classification system concerning defects, their causes, repair techniques and diagnosis methods is included. Project managers, structural engineers, highway engineers, and all other engineers involved with the building, maintenance, and repair of concrete bridges will benefit from this book. About the Authors Fernando A. Branco, Ph.D., is professor and head of the Construction Sector at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal. Jorge de Brito, Ph.D., is associate professor at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal. Product Reviews Bridges are expected to perform satisfactorily over their expected life span. This practical, user-oriented handbook helps concrete bridge engineers and managers meet this challenge. The key aspects of concrete bridge management are covered in a clear and straightforward way. --Dan M. Frangopol, professor of civil engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder.

Book Description
Highway Bridge Maintenance Planning and Scheduling provides new tactics for highway departments around the world that are faced with the dilemma of providing improved operations on a shoestring budget. Even after the much needed infrastructure funding is received, the question of which project comes first must be answered. Written by a 20-year veteran with the Kansas Department Of Transportation Bridge Office in design and in maintenance, this book provides Senior Bridge Maintenance Engineers with practical advice on how to create an effective maintenance program that will allow them to not only plan, schedule, direct, and monitor highway bridge repair and rehabilitation projects, but also evaluate all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity, and unit-cost standards. Provides the tools and methods for building, maintaining, planning, and scheduling effective maintenance Presents experience-based suggestions for evaluating highway bridges to determine maintenance priorities Includes methods for evaluating all completed work for technical acceptability, productivity, and unit-cost standards
