Abstract:The expert system presented should facilitate the in-depth analysis of bridge esthetics and encourage high standards for the appearance of bridges. The procedure described systematically evaluates features of a target bridge in relation to a similar comparator bridge, guided by a set of 177 rules established by experts. The rules, however, require some interpretation by the evaluator because of the subjective nature of the material. Nevertheless, the process leads to a numerical esthetic rating index for any type of highway girder bridge, with ratings falling between 0, the lowest, and 10, the highest.
