Bridge Condition Index: a review of methodologies used in Bridge Management Systems
The transport infrastructure consists of roads, bridges, and tunnel networks. Among these, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels are particularly vulnerable due to structural degrad-ation caused by environmental conditions, overloading, and other factors. Ensuring the safety of these assets, especially at the network level, is a significant challenge. The emergence of Bridge Management Systems (BMS) addresses the need for comprehensive information in managing inspections, condition assessments, and optimizing investments in bridge maintenance. Despite the benefits, many countries face challenges in identifying high-risk bridges. Issues include the lack of high-quality data, mixed ownership of assets, diverse management system platforms, varying condition rating schemes, and the absence of a risk-based assessment. This review aims to highlight current practices and research efforts in evaluating bridge condition indices/ratings (BCI) for existing bridges. The identified knowledge gaps emphasize the need for national authorities to develop policies leading to a unified and functional approach for condition rating. ; ISBN for host publication: 9781003483755; Fulltext license: CC BY-NC-ND
