- Abstract:
Though road authorities have well-defined inspection protocols for evaluating bridge serviceability, gaps remain in understanding optimal timing and the impact of maintenance strategies on an individual bridge and its subsystems and, consequently, on the holistic performance of a road network. This paper proposes an innovative model based on system reliability principles that develops optimized bridge maintenance strategies aimed at enhancing the overall reliability of a bridge-dominated road network by considering the quantified impact of bridge component deterioration. Using the first-order second-moment method, we initially determine the reliability index for each bridge based on condition ratings derived from routine inspections as outlined in the bridge inspection manual. Advanced optimization algorithms then formulate the optimal maintenance strategies for the bridge structures. Finally, we gauge the system reliability of the network using Ditlevsen bounds approximation, considering the impact of maintenance actions on varied bridge structural components. The developed model was implemented on a typical bridge-dominated road network in Chongqing, China. The results demonstrate the model has the capacity to quantify the impact of diverse bridge maintenance strategies on the total road network, offering valuable insights for decision makers to design effective, efficient maintenance strategies aimed at extending the lifespan of bridge-dominated road networks.
