| Abstract | Over the past several decades, the concepts of structural reliability, optimization, and lifecycle cost analysis and design have developed rapidly and become widely accepted among researchers and increasingly acknowledged among practicing engineers. The United States has a national inventory of almost 600,000 highway bridges, many of which have deteriorated substantially and will require large expenditures to repair. A reliability-based approach to optimizing the maintenance, repair and replacement of these bridges will provide a more efficient use of limited financial resources by ensuring an acceptable level of safety at a minimum expected life-cycle cost. The application of the minimum expected life-cycle cost criterion to optimize the management of highway bridges in the United States was recommended in 1991 by the Intermodal Surface |
