Abstract:This research proposes a new framework for planning inspections based on the concept that an inspection should only be performed when knowledge about bridge condition is uncertain. The report describes the framework, then applies the framework to an example bridge considering the deterioration modes of chloride-induced corrosion in the rebar and fatigue cracking of a steel connection. A new inspection plan is developed, and the life-cycle costs associated with the new inspection plan and a traditional inspection schedule are computed and compared.
