Description and Table of Contents
Description
This manual is the result of the First International Conference on Bridge Management, from which a clearer picture has emerged amongst the world's bridge engineering fraternity of the specific management tasks involved. But there is still a desperate need to find effective ways of implementing these tasks. Bridge inspections continue to reveal an alarming rate of deterioration to the world's stock of bridges due to bad design, ageing, corrosive influences, accidental damage and overload from increased weights and volume of traffic. This volume focuses on ways of limiting the whole life cost of new bridges and extending the life of old bridges by presenting preventative and curative measures which have been found in practice to work. There are many exciting developments taking place and a number of case histories are included which illustrate the methods employed.
