“…BMS can improve the efficiency of management and decrease redundant costs in dealing with infrastructure management issues [4]. Many countries invested a great deal of resources and efforts to develop efficient BMSs, including Finland [5], Denmark [6], Germany [7], and Japan [8]. In China, Chinese Bridge Management System (CMBS) was developed by the Ministry of Transport of China (MOT) in 1993 and has been widely used in China after continuous improvement.…”

With the development of the Chinese transportation industry, the number of bridges has increased significantly, but this results in high pressure of structural maintenance and management. Bridge management system (BMS) is critical for efficient maintenance and ensured safety of bridge structures during long-term operation. Building information modeling (BIM) is an emerging technology with powerful visualization and informatization capability, making it an ideal tool for developing modern management systems. This paper introduces the development of a bridge management system based on the BIM technology. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and International Framework for Dictionaries (IFD) standards are studied and extended, and coding rules are proposed for the Chinese bridge industry. Also, a standard structural modeling method is proposed to fast build the bridge BIM model. Web-BIM oriented bridge management is proposed, and portable devices are introduced into the system. Collaborative management is realized for different users. The BIM-based maintenance management system is designed. Finally, a practical BIM-based BMS is established for a long-span cable-stayed bridge in China. This system integrates the BIM with the geographic information system (GIS) and contains information management, inspection management, technical condition evaluation, and enables users to cooperate with each other. Such a BMS could help to improve the management efficiency and ensure its normal operation, providing a useful platform for the maintenance of massive bridges in China.

“…Many countries developed their own BMSs depending on their needs, to manage their bridge stock efficiently, while some countries adopted widely used well-known systems of other countries [3][4][5][6]. In a traditional BMS, there are four modules: inventory, inspection, maintenance and optimization.…”

In this paper, findings of a research project about river bridges in Turkey are shared and details of the developed safety-inspection method based on hydrological and hydraulic factors are presented. In the project, the Western Black Sea Basin was chosen as the pilot area, where the basin is mountainous with steep slopes and has a rainy climate with frequent flash floods. Many river bridges in the basin were inspected at different flow conditions throughout the project duration of three years. The developed safety-inspection method is composed of four main parts: evaluation of watershed hydrology and its flood potential, stream stability, bridge characteristics and a rapid scour assessment. A structural assessment is also included in the method. Five river bridges in the area were chosen for detailed inspection and application of the method. Results showed that the method was capable of identifying and ranking the bridges in regard to maintenance needs and forming a comprehensive inventory for bridge engineers.

“…Currently available BMSs, including the earliest Pontis (Thompson et al, 1998), BRIDGIT (Hawk and Small, 1998;Small, 2002), the Finnish (Söderqvist and Veijola, 1998), Danish (Lauridsen et al, 1998), German (Haardt, 2002), and Japanese (Miyamoto et al, 2000) BMSs, rely primarily on information obtained through visual inspections. In these BMSs, dedicated functions help visual inspectors to describe the bridge condition at the system or component level and to record condition ratings, which are quantified and standardized through a priority-ranking procedure (Bergmeister, 1997;Znidaric and Perus, 1998;Yanev, 1998;Bevc et al, 1999;Faber and Sørensen, 2002).…”

The development of a reliable bridge management system (BMS) constitutes a formidable engineering challenge due to both the multiobjective nature of the task and the large amount of information to be considered in formulating the required automated judgments. This article deals with a procedure for bridge condition assessment by visual inspection developed during the planning and preliminary design of the BMS for the public railway networks in Italy. The main modules adopted in the procedure are: bridge inventory, computer‐aided visual inspection, automated defect catalog, and priority‐ranking procedure. The probabilistic models used to calibrate the condition evaluation algorithm are discussed. Different levels of deficiency have been individuated for each class of bridge structure belonging to the managed stock. The procedure allows comparison and relative ranking of deficiency conditions across different types of bridge structures. The results of a visual inspection campaign conducted for a set of bridges with different structural characteristics are reported and evaluated within the framework of the developed BMS.
