Bridge Evaluation Using Nondestructive Evaluation—The Denver Management System
The City and County of Denver (CCD) Public Works Department owns, inspects, and maintains 531 bridges in its inventory of which 264 are considered major structures spanning over 6.1 m in length. In this paper a methodology using the CCD major bridge network for the application of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods in bridge inspections is explained. The methodology, called Bridge Evaluation using Nondestructive Testing (BENT) helps systematically integrate NDE methods and conventional Bridge Management Systems (BMS) by using a Markovian deterioration model. Although the BENT method can be applied to timber, steel, and concrete bridges, in this paper the application of the method will be restricted to concrete bridges. The BENT system is part of a comprehensive geographic information system whereby database queries can be completed using a map interface. The database contains a wide array of information in the CCD infrastructure inventory including: bridges, pavements, alleys, and street subsystems.
