Comparative Maintenance Costs of Different Bridge Types
Absolute maintenance costs, excluding those for routine cleaning, painting and resurfacing activities, are not generally available. In practice maintenance of bridges is virtually non-existent and bridge owners are only driven to take action when serious deterioration becomes apparent.
This paper discusses aspects of bridge design and construction which from experience have an impact on deterioration. It is important to take stock of these aspects so that both maintenance strategies and design in future are improved. (See The Assessment of Highway Bridges and Structures. Bridge Census and Sample Survey, Department of Transport, January 1987; Report on the State of Roads and Bridges in the United Kingdom—The Case for Action. The Institution of Civil Engineers, January 1988.
