As the number of aged bridges increases, the development of efficient bridge maintenance techniques is becoming more important. Particularly, there have been many studies on digital-twin models of bridges for maintenance and SHM (Structure Health Monitering). However, in order to use the digital-twin model for maintenance of the bridge, the model updating process that matches the structural response between the real bridge and the digital-twin bridge model must be done. This study presents a model updating method that adjusts bridge's stiffness and boundary condition with genetic algorithm (GA) using static displacements and verified proposed updating method through field test on PSC girder bridge. This study also proposes a conceptual idea to construct an efficient bridge maintenance system by applying the updated numerical analysis model to the digital-twin model.

Effective bridge maintenance reduces bridge operation costs and extends its service life. The possibility of storing bridge life-cycle data in a 3D parametric model of the bridge through Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) provides new opportunities to enhance current practices of bridge maintenance management. This study develops a Decision Support System (DSS), namely BrDSS, which employs BrIM and an efficient optimization model for bridge maintenance planning. The BrIM model in BrDSS extracts basic data of elements required for the optimization process and visualizes the inspection data and the optimization results to the user to help in decision makings. In the optimization module of the DSS, the specifically formulated Genetic Algorithm (GA) eliminates the chances of producing infeasible solutions for faster convergence. The practicality of the presented DSS was explored by utilizing the DSS in the maintenance planning of a bridge under operation in the southwest of Iran.

Effective maintenance system for national highway bridges has been requested due to increasing numbers of bridges. In this study, bridge data base is established in accordance with rating criteria for the structural conditions and functions of bridges. Maintenance system using PC-80386 hardware and ORACLE software is developed to rank the priority of either reconstruction or repairing of bridges and to provide with those information to bridge maintenance staff in order to perform bridge maintenance effectively. With this pre-establised data base and computerized maintenance system, data and information for planning of bridge construction could be obtained in times.

Maintenance plays a critical role in the bridge industry, but actual practices show many limitations because of traditional, 2D-based information systems. It is necessary to develop a new generation of maintenance information management systems for more reliable decision making in bridge maintenance. Enhancing current work processes requires a BIM-based 3D digital model that can use information from the whole lifecycle of a project (design, construction, operation, and maintenance) through continuous exchanges and updates from each stakeholder. This study describes the development of a data scheme for maintenance of cable-stayed bridges. We implemented the proposed system for a cable-stayed bridge and discussed its effectiveness.

본 연구에서는 생애주기비용을 고려한 성능기반 최적 유지관리 전략 수립 시스템을 개발하였다. 교량 수명동안 비용과 성능이라는 상반되는 목적을 균형있게 만족시킬 수 있는 유지관리 시나리오의 생성을 다중목적 조합최적화 문제로 정식화하고 유전자알고리즘을 적용하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 국도 상 강거더 교량의 최적 유지관리 시나리오를 제공하는 과정을 제시하였다. 개발된 시스템은 현재의 교량 유지관리 전략 수립의 방법을 개선하여 교량 관리주체에게 다양한 제약 및 요구조건에 부합하는 최적의 교량 유지관리 시나리오를 제공할 수 있는 효율적인 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Nowadays, most of bridge networks are complete or close to completion. The biggest challenge railroad./highway agencies and departments of transportation face is the maintenance of these networks, keeping them safe and serviceable, with limited funds. To maintain the bridges effectively, there is an urgent need to predict their remaining life from a system reliability viewpoint. And, it is necessary to develop the maintenance models based on system reliability concept. In this paper, maintenance models are developed for preventive maintenance and essential maintenance by using system reliability and lifetime distributions. The proposed model is applied to an existing railroad bridge. The optimal maintenance strategy of this bridge is obtained in terms of services life extension and cumulative maintenance cost.

교량 유지관리 전략 수립 시 현재 상태를 기반으로 미래 상태를 예측할 수 있어야 하며, 상태예측모델의 신뢰도가 높아질수록 효과적인 유지관리 의사결정이 가능하다. 그러나 인력기반 반복 주기적인 현행유지관리는 관리자가 목표하는 관리(등급)수준의 교량 상태를 정확히 예측하지 못해서 막대한 보수 보강비용이 발생될 가능성이 있고, 합리적인 유지관리 의사결정을 도모하는데 어려움을 겪는다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 국내 교량 점검 이력 데이터를 이용하여 불확실성을 고려한 교량 부재별 대표 상태예측모델을 개발하고, 개발된 상태예측모델을 실제 유지관리 대상 교량에 보다 높은 정확도로 적용 가능한 베이지안 업데이트 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 모니터링 업데이트 상태예측모델 기반 예방적 유지관리가 기존 현행유지관리 대비 비용 효율성 측면에서 유리함을 제안하기 위해 각각의 유지관리비용 산출에 따른 교량 점검 타당성 분석을 수행하였다.

Over the years, existing bridges have had various degrees of maintenance to extend the service life. As the existing bridges continue to deteriorate, however, each Department of Transportation (DOT) of the United States of America faces increasing demands on the limited funds available for bridge maintenance. Therefore, it is very important for State Department of Transportations to establish Maintenance, Repair, and Rehabilitation (MR&R) strategies for bridge structures such that funds get allocated for appropriate maintenance over the service life. This paper identifies the state-of-art and the state-of-practice of MR&R actions and the use of MR&R strategies in concrete bridge decks. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted to identify the type and timing for MR&R actions as well as existing MR&R strategies taken in concrete bridge deck by each DOT. This paper also presents the results of the survey.

Usually the status of a bridge is determined by its structural capability and material strength. Consequently a lot of researchers have studied the failure, the fatigue, and the deterioration of the structure in terms of the structural function of a bridge. However, the overall performance of a bridge may be affected simply by the damage of one of its components. Therefore this study utilized a systematic classification and statistical analysis based on the existing bridge inspection data collected in Taiwan to reach the following goals: (1) assess the performance distribution and deterioration rate for bearing and expansion joint of bridge; (2) find out the right time to do the preventive and essential maintenance for the component of bridge with an empirical method, and to decide what time and which component of a bridge will receive preventive maintenance or regular maintenance.
