FHWA LTBP Bridge Performance Primer, TechBrief

This TechBrief defines bridge performance and discusses the importance of measuring performance and current practices for doing so. It identifies key issues to improving performance measures and the role the Long-Term Bridge Performance (LTBP) Program plays in this effort. Under the LTBP Program, bridge performance encompasses how bridges function and behave when subjected to the complex and interrelated factors they face day in and day out--traffic volumes, loads, deicing chemicals, freeze-thaw cycles, rains, or high winds. Bridge design, construction, materials, age, and maintenance history also play roles in performance. It is the combination of these factors--unique for each individual bridge--that governs performance of that bridge.
