Optimal inspection scheduling with alternative fatigue reliability formulations for steel bridges
A reliability-based method for inspection scheduling of steel bridges is proposed to yield the optimal (most economical) inspection strategy that meets an acceptable safety level through the planned service life. Two fatigue reliability formulations that can be applied for most details in steel bridges are presented. For details classified according to AASHTO fatigue categories, a limit state f...
متن کاملSimulation-based Non-destructive Inspection Scheduling of Steel Bridges
A procedure for selecting an optimal NDI (non-destructive inspection) technique and associated schedule for fracture-critical member inspections on a specific steel bridge is presented. Information related to the probability of detection (POD) function (a measure of inspection quality) of alternative NDI techniques is utilized. Calculations based on use of the POD function together with Monte C...
متن کاملAutomated Robotic Monitoring and Inspection of Steel Structures and Bridges
This paper presents visual and 3D structure inspection for steel structures and bridges using a developed climbing robot. The robot can move freely on a steel surface, carry sensors, collect data and then send to the ground station in real time for monitoring as well as further processing. Steel surface image stitching and 3D map building are conducted to provide a current condition of the stru...
متن کاملMethods for Better Assessment of Fatigue and Deterioration in Bridges and Other Steel or Concrete Constructions
Large metal and concrete structures suffer by various kinds of deterioration, and accurate prediction of the remaining life is important. This paper informs about two methods for its assessment. One method, suitable for steel bridges and other constructions exposed to fatigue, monitors the loads and damage accumulation using information systems for the operation and the finite element model of ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Fatigue Life Updating for Railway Bridges Based on Local Inspection and Repair
Railway bridges are exposed to repeated train loads, which may cause fatigue failure. As critical links in a transportation network, railway bridges are expected to survive for a target period of time, but sometimes they fail earlier than expected. To guarantee the target bridge life, bridge maintenance activities such as local inspection and repair should be undertaken properly. However, this ...
