Bridge Asset Management Collection
There are more than 617,000 bridges across the United States. Currently, 42% of all bridges are at least 50 years old, and 46,154, or 7.5% of the nation’s bridges, are considered structurally deficient, meaning they are in “poor” condition. With the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the opportunity exists to invest in much needed bridge repairs and rehabilitation. These selected papers will assist all stakeholders, including state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), in asset management and prioritization of bridge maintenance projects to maximize use of this funding.
This collection is curated by Dan M. Frangopol, Dist.M.ASCE, Lehigh University, and Sriram Narasimhan, Ph.D., P.Eng (Ontario), M.ASCE, University of California, Los Angeles.
