“…Fabianowski and Jakiel (2019) also devote their study to the sustainable assessment of different management strategies affecting a network of existing railroad bridges. Other authors apply MCDM techniques for the sustainable assessment of different materials for the design of bridges (El-Mikawi & Mosallam, 1996;Navarro et al, 2018aNavarro et al, , 2018bNavarro et al, , 2018cNavarro et al, , 2020Enfedaque et al, 2018). A main source of decision-making problems has been found to be the selection of the bridge type (Itoh et al, 2000;Ugwu et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2010;Balali et al, 2014;Kripka et al, 2019;Farkas, 2011;Gu et al, 2011;Arya et al, 2015) or construction techniques (El-Diraby & O'Connor, 2001;Pan, 2008;Salem et al, 2018;Jia et al, 2018;Mousavi et al, 2014;Chen, 2018Chen, , 2020.…”

“…From the abovementioned five stakeholders suggested by UNEP/SETAC (2009), social impacts on local communities are assessed by 39.5% of the studies, namely those evaluating impacts on cultural heritage, local employment generation, the externalities and the public acceptance of the bridge and its aesthetics. The stakeholder Society is taken into account by 14.3% of the studies, namely those considering impacts on the development of local economies (Ugwu et al, 2006;Aghdaie et al, 2012;Bansal et al, 2017;Cau & Hong, 2017;Navarro et al, 2018aNavarro et al, , 2018bNavarro et al, , 2018cSalem et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018), on the social wellbeing and the inclusion of innovation (Wang et al, 2010;Ugwu et al, 2006) in the bridge design. The stakeholder Workers is assessed by 19.3% of the articles, which consider the health and safety related to working conditions as a main source of social impacts.…”

“…Therefore, research has been conducted on the assessment of the impacts resulting from the construction and maintenance of bridges in each of the three dimensions of sustainability. Efforts have been made to reduce the economic impacts of bridges by optimising the costs associated both to construction (García-Segura et al, 2014;Penadés-Plà et al, 2020a) and to maintenance (Sabatino et al, 2016;Navarro et al, 2018a). The environmental dimension of sustainability has also been assessed in studies focused on finding the most favourable design geometry (García-Segura et al, 2017a;Yepes et al, 2015) and maintenance strategy (Navarro et al, 2018b(Navarro et al, , 2019a.…”

Sustainable design of infrastructures has become a major matter of study since the recent establishment of the Agenda 2030. This paper provides a systematic literature review on the use of multi-criteria decision making techniques used so far for the sustainable design of bridges. Special attention is put as well on how the reviewed studies assess the sustainable performance of bridge designs along their life cycle from the economic, the environmental and the social perspective. Although SAW and AHP are recurrently used in the sustainable assessment of bridges, the analysis of the most recent articles show that the application of TOPSIS and PROMETHEE techniques are gaining increasing relevance for such purpose. Most of the studies focus on the research of the construction and the maintenance stage of bridges. However, a need for further analysis is identified when it comes to the assessment of the impacts resulting from the End of Life cycle stage of bridges from a sustainable point of view. The use of intuitionistic and neutrosophic logic have been detected as emerging alternatives to the fuzzy approach of decision making problems.

“…A practice-oriented assessment method and index of sustainability on bridge construction technology are essential for selection of sustainable bridge construction schemes [22]. Penadés-Plà et al [23] analyzed the life-cycle environmental impact of a prestressed concrete precast bridge from the economic point of view, and proposed an optimization-life-cycle assessment method.…”

To promote sustainable development of civil infrastructures, minimizing environmental impact and mobility disruptions have been elevated to a higher priority during decision-making for bridge construction scheme. This study presents a novel temporary pylon-anchor (TPA) technology for construction of self-anchored suspension bridges by considering not only safety performance, but also environmental impacts. A practical assessment method and index of sustainability associated with bridge construction technology are established to facilitate the selection of construction schemes. The sustainability index takes the environmental impact, traffic disruption, onsite construction materials and equipment, onsite construction cost, and onsite construction risk into consideration. The sustainability index associated with both conventional and novel construction methods is assessed and compared in this paper. Specifically, a novel girder-pylon antithrust system (GPAS) is proposed, which is the crucial component of the TPA technology in engineering application. In addition, an analytical approach is developed, considering both global load-carrying capacity and local stress distribution within the design and construction of the GPAS. The applicability and rationality of the proposed construction technology are illustrated by the successful application in real-world engineering. The field tests and sustainability assessment during the construction stage reveal that the proposed sustainability assessment method and analytical approach can facilitate the implementation of sustainable construction for self-anchored suspension bridges by considering both construction safety and sustainability.

“…During the 1980s and 1990s, researchers focused on the structural analysis [4][5][6][7], since the box girder presented a complex problem. Later, other research topics arose, such as, the structural behavior at different construction stages [3,8], the durability conditions and their effect on the strength conditions [9,10], deflections during construction [11], long-term behavior [12], life-cycle assessment [13,14] and multi-criteria decision making methods applied to the sustainable bridge design [15].…”

This paper presents a study of the parametric variability of post-tensioned concrete box-girder pedestrian bridges. SAMO2 algorithm is used for the parametric study. This algorithm combines SA with a mutation operator, to find the economic solutions. A span-length parametric study analyzes the characteristics for the best design of a three-span deck in which the main span ranges from 30 to 60 m. The depth and the number of strands were adjusted according to span length, while the thickness of the slabs presented the same optimum values in all cases. Results show that the amount of steel and volume of concrete per square meter of deck shows a good correlation with the main span length. This study demonstrates that by increasing the main span length by one meter, the total cost per square meter of the deck increases by 6.38 euros on average. Thus, this paper shows the relationship between the span length and geometrical and steel variables to produce and build a cost-efficient pedestrian bridge.
