دانلود Assessment of Bridge Management System in Iran

Abstract

The road and railroad networks are the most important elements of the infrastructure system and bridges  are  the  main  connective  parts.  Moreover,  bridges  are considered  as  important  points  in critical arteries. If the bridges deteriorate, because of aging, fatigue, loading, weather conditions, natural  disaster  and  etc.  repair  works  will  be  more  expensive  than  maintenance  works.  The available budget for rehabilitation and maintenance usually is not enough for holding the system  in a certain condition  level  its whole life. In  our country bridge  maintenance  isn't important as their  construction.  Bridge  maintenance  authorities  haven't  any  serious  view  towards  prevention maintenance, and  while there isn't any structural failure, they don't take any  effective  measures. Nowadays,  in  developed  country  and  even  some  developing  countries,  all  of  the  bridges  are evaluated  and  maintained  by  Bridge  Management  System  (BMS).  Bridge  management  system has  a  specific  principle  and  plenty  of  developed  software  for  it.  Hence,  for  deployment  of  this system, it's necessary to plan a specific program  with  reasonable time table  in  order to prevent the  disadvantages  of  these  national  assets.  In  this  paper,  a  study  has  been  conducted  about implementation  of  BMS  in  IRAN  that  present  accomplished  activities  and  then  evaluate  the process and finally significant strategies and executive suggestion have been mentioned.
