A System Reliability Approach to the Lifetime Optimization of Inspection and Repair of Highway Bridges.
Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop and demonstrate a methodology for evaluating the system reliability of a highway bridge over time and to develop an optimum inspection and repair strategy for that bridge that can be updated as new information becomes available. This study neglects uncertainty associated with human error in design, construction, or testing. It suggests a method of incorporating inspector error into the assessment of visual inspection data, but otherwise neglects human error.
