Book excerpt: Aging of the bridge infrastructure inventory has caused Department of Transportation agencies to critically focus on bridge preservation and replacement needs, while often faced with constrained or reduced budgets every year. A strategic bridge preventive maintenance program has been shown to be an effective way to preserve and extend bridge service lives. A bridge preventive maintenance program is related to routine practices that are repeated with some particular frequency to obtain the best results. Moreover, it is well known that frequently performing less-costly preventive maintenance activities results in a more efficient alternative than performing fewer expensive repairs/rehabilitation or even replacements of bridge elements. The objective of this research was to review bridge maintenance activities recommended by specialized literature, to examine maintenance activities currently conducted by the various INDOT districts, and also to review maintenance activities performed by several other DOT agencies. Based on the results of this review, a list of ten new and enhanced bridge preventive maintenance activities was identified to improve the effectiveness of bridge maintenance operations in Indiana. The required conditions and frequency to perform each activity was analyzed, and the cost and benefit of such operations was studied to ensure that the proposed activities are economically feasible and sustainable.

Life-cycle aspects that are developed and discussed range from structural safety and durability to sustainability, serviceability, robustness and resilience. Applications relate to buildings, bridges and viaducts, highways and runways, tunnels and underground structures, off-shore and marine structures, dams and hydraulic structures, prefabricated design, infrastructure systems, etc. During the IALCCE2018 conference a particular focus is put on the cross-fertilization between different sub-areas of expertise and the development of an overall vision for life-cycle analysis in civil engineering. The aim of the editors is to provide a valuable source of cutting edge information for anyone interested in life-cycle analysis and assessment in civil engineering, including researchers, practising engineers, consultants, contractors, decision makers and representatives from local authorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recently published update of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT’s) historic bridge management plan, A Management Plan for Historic Bridges in Virginia: The 2017 Update, noted a number of special considerations regarding stone masonry on VDOT’s historic bridges (i.e., those state-owned bridges that are individually eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places). Key considerations included the types of masonry work identified on management plan bridges; various types of repair and stabilization methods; and references to compatible mortars for use on bridges of older construction. The 2017 update of the historic bridge management plan also contained a fifth recommendation: conduct an in-depth historic masonry study and produce a best practices document identifying procedures for repair and/or rehabilitation of historic masonry structures and masonry components, particularly those on VDOT’s historic bridges. This study addressed that fifth recommendation. This study assembled data related to masonry in historic bridges, including archival documentary evidence, materials, and construction and repair technologies, and yielded a best practices document for facilitating appropriate management of VDOT’s historic bridges with stone masonry components. The study concluded that (1) historic bridges in Virginia with stone masonry construction exhibit a number of different forms, materials, building practices, and technologies that reflect the time periods when the bridges were built; (2) a variety of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation practices have been used on these bridges; (3) best practices in historic preservation can evolve over time as additional information is acquired; and (4) knowledge of these various forms, materials, practices, and technologies, and the necessary specialized treatments required, must be taken into account when planning and undertaking maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation for the various types of stone masonry construction found in Virginia’s historic bridges. Using the most appropriate practices as outlined in this report may help avoid inappropriate repairs and damage to stone masonry elements. The study recommends that (1) the practices regarding bridge maintenance, repair, and historical documentation described in this report be used by VDOT structure and bridge engineers, environmental cultural resource personnel, and corresponding district staff; and (2) the information, including historical background, condition, and maintenance needs on specific bridges, included in this report be referenced in the forthcoming update of A Management Plan for Historic Bridges in Virginia (now in progress).

Book excerpt: Many transportation departments have significant practical experience with bridge preservation and have developed conclusions regarding the effectiveness of bridge preservation actions based on those experiences. However, limited efforts have been made to identify, measure, evaluate, and document the short- and long-term performance of specific bridge preservation actions. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 950: Proposed AASHTO Guides for Bridge Preservation Actions presents the development of two AASHTO guides for bridge preservation, including a general guide to preservation of highway bridges and a guide to preservation of highway bridge decks. Supplementary to the report is Appendix B: Summaries of Information from State DOTs.

Book excerpt: Everything you need to know to save an old historic, truss-style bridge. The chapters are full of practical things: Sometimes this advice is offered in essay form. More often it is presented as to-do lists. In fact, the book begins with a comprehensive checklist of everything you need to know before you get started on saving a bridge. It's all here. There are even job descriptions for volunteers and interview questions for professionals who will need to be brought into the process. Useful case studies abound. An appendix of truss-bridge types gives prospective bridge-savers a useful starting point, and forty-one photographs give them a vision of the goal.

Book excerpt: The research described in this report assembles a set of tools based on experiences and best practices in a diverse set of states for linking strategic goals to resource allocation and implementation decisions using aspects of asset management. A survey of practices in each of the state DOT's that explores documents and synthesizes both strategic planning processes and asset management was conducted. With input from an expert advisory panel, five states were for detailed analysis. These are Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Montana and Pennsylvania. The model process that results does not represent any particular state, but incorporates elements from all five states. This model process can provide useful guidance to states interested in augmenting their existing process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of agencies, academic institutes, and governmental and industrial bodies are embracing the principles of sustainability in managing their activities. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an approach developed to provide decision support regarding the environmental impact of industrial processes and products. LCA is a field with ongoing research, development and improvement and is being implemented world-wide, particularly in the areas of pavement, roadways and bridges. Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2020 contains the contributions to the International Symposium on Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2020 (Davis, CA, USA, June 3-6, 2020) covering research and practical issues related to pavement, roadway and bridge LCA, including data and tools, asset management, environmental product declarations, procurement, planning, vehicle interaction, and impact of materials, structure, and construction. Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2020 will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and policymakers in academia, industry, and government who are interested in the sustainability of pavements, roadways and bridges.
