Reliability-based Optimal Inspection for Fracture-critical Steel Bridge Members
To prevent members in steel bridges from fatigue failure, one usually needs to perform frequent periodic bridge inspections and employ detailed inspection methods. This is especially true for fracture-critical members or details. Carrying out these inspections puts a large burden on a transportation agency’s bridge maintenance budget. A systematic reliability-based method for inspection schedul...
متن کاملOptimal 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 کاملUpdating Bridge Reliability Based on Bridge Management Systems Visual Inspection Results
Bridge management systems have become increasingly sophisticated over the past decade and provide valuable information about the structural condition of all bridges in the national database. At the same time, reliability methods have gained increasing prominence and are used to forecast life-cycle performance over many decades of structural life. Such reliability analyses need to be updated bas...
متن کاملImage-based Change Detection for Bridge Inspection
The changes in defects patterns or in element condition index during visual inspection of bridges are primary concerns for inspectors. This paper presents a new approach for change detection of defects in bridges by identifying changes in texture patterns through spectral analysis of digital images. The commonly used method for change detection is image differentiation. This subtraction method ...
متن کاملConsequence of Corrosion on Dynamic Behaviour of Steel Bridge Members
Deterioration of steel bridge infrastructures constitutes a major worldwide problem in transportation engineering and maintenance management industry. Corrosion and fatigue cracking may be the two most important types of damage in aging structures. Various kinds of failures and the need of expensive replacements may occur even though the amount of metal destroyed is quite small. One of the majo...
