| Abstract: |
A research project is undertaken for the combined inspection and management of a pilot group of road bridges in Turkey based on the development of a bridge management system (BMS) for the General Directorate of Highways. The pilot study consists of visual inspections of 200 bridges and detailed inspections of 10 bridges. Visual inspections are planned to be carried out by photogrammetric techniques while detailed inspections will include techniques such as strength determination using probe test systems, ultrasonic testing, reinforcement corrosion detection and measurement. Details of the project are presented herein including budgetary and time schedules. Activities to be completed are presented. The developed system will enable monitoring the safety and maintenance costs of the bridges. The project is conducted by the Department of Engineering Sciences in the Middle East Technical University with the support of a software development firm. |
