Abstrakt: |
The size and complexity of managing bridges infrastructure created a movement to develop and use country-specific Bridge Management Systems (BMS) in many countries around the world. Therefore, two of the authors have contributed to the development of a framework for a bridge management system in the United Arab Emirates. The proposed BMS consists of eight main modules, which include inventory, inspection, condition assessment, deterioration models, repair strategy, maintenance, research and development, and decision-making. Each module has inputs, outputs, and inter-relationship with other modules. In this paper, inventory and inspection modules of the proposed BMS framework were discussed. In addition, the Entity-Relationship (E-R) information modelling technique that is used to create the conceptual information model for the inventory database were presented and discussed. |
