Sinossi

U.S. engineers need advanced tools and protocols to better assess and assure safety and serviceability of bridges. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of Europe to identify best practices and processes to assure bridge safety and serviceability. The scan team found that the European highway agencies expect their bridge programs to not only ensure user safety, but also to meet serviceability expectations and enhance capital investment decisions. The team gathered information on safety and serviceability practices and technologies related to design, construction, and operations. Team recommendations for U.S. implementation include developing a national strategy to increase use of refined analysis for bridge design and evaluation, encouraging States to use refined analysis combined with reliability analysis to avoid unnecessary rehabilitation or replacement of bridges, and encouraging adoption of the concept of annual probability of failure to quantify safety in probability-based design and rating specifications.
