Abstract:A workshop was held at the TRB 88th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, to provide the bridge engineering community with an overview of the Long-Term Bridge Performance (LTBP) program activities since April 2008. More than 350 individuals representing FHWA, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, academia, industry, and other government agencies participated in this workshop. The half-day session began with welcoming remarks by Gary Henderson director of the Office of Infrastructure Research and Development at FHWA's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center, on the significance of the flagship program and its importance in addressing the needs of stakeholders and achieving FHWA's strategic goals. The welcome was followed by the first presentation of the day led by Hamid Ghasemi, the LTBP program manager, who highlighted the program's activities and presented key issues related to: 1) performance measures and categories; 2) the concepts of systems and top-down heuristic approaches; and 3) introductions of the oversight committee members.
