Developing Bridge Deterioration Models Using an Artificial Neural Network
The condition of a bridge is critical in quality evaluations and justifying the significant costs incurred by maintaining and repairing bridge infrastructures. Using bridge management systems, the department of transportation in the United States is currently supervising the construction and renovations of thousands of bridges. The inability to obtain funding for the current infrastructures, such that they comply with the requirements identified as part of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation (MR&R), makes such bridge management systems critical. Bridge management systems facilitate decision making about handling bridge deterioration using an efficient model that accurately predicts bridge condition ratings. The accuracy of this model can facilitate MR&R planning and is used to confirm funds allocated to repair and maintain the bridge network management system. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to improve the bridge management system (BMS) by improving the prediction accuracy of the deterioration of bridge decks, superstructures, and substructures. A large dataset of historical bridge condition assessment data was used to train and test the proposed ANN models for the deck, superstructure, and substructure components, and the accuracy of these models was 90%, 90%, and 89% on the testing set, respectively.
