Risk-Based Maintenance Optimization of Aging Highway Bridge Decks
Abstract This paper presents a practical approach for maintenance optimization of a network of aging highway bridge decks that integrates a stochastic deterioration model based on Bogdanoff's cumulative damage theory with an effective multi-objective optimization approach. The multi-objective maintenance optimization takes into account all relevant objectives, such as improving bridge deck condition, minimizing maintenance costs, and minimizing traffic disruption and associated user costs. The consideration of these three objectives enables to take full advantage of the available bridge inspection data and implicitly lead towards the minimization of the risk of failure due to bridge deck deterioration and maintenance activities. A multi-objective optimality index is proposed as an optimality criterion for priority ranking of the deficient bridge decks for maintenance. The obtained optimal maintenance project prioritization strategy achieves a satisfactory trade-off or compromise between the selected relevant and competing optimization objectives. The proposed approach is illustrated on a small network of ten bridge deck projects that are optimized for maintenance.
