| Abstract: |
Bridges are lifelines of a Nation’s road infrastructure and massive investments are being made in the highway sector every year in India. After independence in 1947, a large number of Reinforced Cement Concrete and Prestressed Cement Concrete bridges were built across the country and it is estimated that about 25% of them have distress or are in one form or the other. Presently, maintenance of bridges is in a rudimentary state and only a few important bridges are closely examined, that too on case-to-case basis for rehabilitation works. Considering that the numbers of bridges are increasing quite rapidly and their importance is also increasing, there is a need to develop a scientifically designed bridge management system in GIS environment for allocation of funds for maintenance, rehabilitation and strengthening of bridges on priority basis. Hence, a Bridge Maintenance Management System (Indo-BMMS) has been developed in GIS environment in the present study. |
