| Abstract: |
The key element of the safety philosophy in bridge maintenance is the regular check and inspection of the bridges by engineers which are specially trained to perform bridge inspections. Therefore, bridge inspections are an important and integral part of the bridge management system (BMS) and include, besides the inspection activity itself, also inspection-oriented construction, the provision of inventory data, a uniform evaluation method, several expert systems as well as the continuous training of the engineers performing the inspections including a regular exchange of experiences. |
