Bridge Management 4: Inspection, Maintenance, Assessment and RepairM. J. Ryall, G. A. R. Parke, J. E. Harding Thomas Telford, 2000 - 769 pages These proceedings are from The Fourth International Conference on Bridge Management that consolidated the best and, more importantly, up-to-date research conducted in the field of bridge management. Since the first conference in 1990 the scientific art of bridge management has advanced at an astonishing rate. There has been a change from a curative to a preventative approach to bridge management, promising an increased longevity for the next generation of bridges and reduced whole-life costs, and practical and economical solutions have been found for some recurring problems. |
