“…These results support the claim that the factors impacting bridge deterioration are significantly impacted by the region. In addition, a recent study [125] indicated that the management of bridges is still a major challenge that must be addressed. Furthermore, advancements in evaluation methods of bridges can facilitate the development of deterioration models [126].…”

The deterioration module (DM) is one of the four major modules necessary for any bridge management system (BMS). Environmental conditions, structural systems, bridge configuration, geographic location, and traffic data are some of the major factors that affect the development of deterioration modules. This emphasizes the need for the development of deterioration models that reflect the local conditions. In this article, some of the most important factors that could help in developing deterioration models in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) were identified. The research was conducted in three phases; in the first phase, an extensive literature search was conducted to identify factors adopted in different deterioration models, and in phase two, the most relevant factors to the GCC environment were selected and these factors were further reduced based on input from local bridge experts. The result from the second phase is a list of factors identified by the experts. The identified list was utilized in phase three, which was focused on conducting a survey targeting bridge engineers to help identify the final selection and rank the factors according to their importance level. The results indicate that steel reinforcement protection, design load, chloride attack, type of defect, and age are the most important factors impacting bridge deterioration in the GCC. In addition, the time of rehabilitation; average daily truck traffic, ADTT; and average daily traffic, ADT, are the second most important factors. Factors with medium importance level are deck protection, services under the bridge, and inspection gap. The least important set of factors include temperature and wind load.

“…Mascia and Sartorti (2011) studied bridge design and its relationship to pathological method and identification of pathologies in concrete, steel and wood bridges. Evaluations of bridge performance indicators have been proposed and implemented in case studies such as Marić et al (2022), Mahdi et al (2022) and Limongelli et al (2018) and many European directives on the quantification of performance indicators to assess bridge quality control have been issued (Santos et al, 2022).…”

The duration of utilization of bridges leads to its aging and therefore to the loss of some of their characteristics. Hence, the importance of specialized auscultation so that they can perform their function during the lifetime assigned to them. The safety of these bridges must also be ensured in view of the increase in the load of the heavy goods vehicles actually travelling and passing through them. The aim of this research is to study the influence of the utilization of the Algerian and the European regulatory codes on the diagnosis of the pathologies of reinforced concrete frame bridges. To achieve this goal, a frame bridge of total length of 37.2 m, located in the wilaya of Tiaret in Algeria, is expertized. It consists of two parts, one cast on site and the other prefabricated in reinforced concrete; it is classified of low seismicity and as an important bridge according to the Algerian seismic regulation. A diagnosis of the condition of the bridge was carried out on the basis of a preliminary visual inspection by making a schematic and photographic finding of the main issues and another inspection based on experimentation by carrying out several tests in situ and in the laboratory, which led to its classification in 2E according to the manual image of the quality of works of art (IQOA). Two types of regulatory loads are applied in this article; the Algerian regulation in force and the European regulation Eurocode 1 in order to carry out a comparative numerical simulation using the lowest compression constraint found during the experiment on the cores taken from the expert bridge. The results of this work confirmed the safety side of the European regulation because it responds correctly to the evolution of loads, hence any future verification of the pathological state of existing frame bridges must refer to the Eurocode as the loading code.

“…The construction industry has a highaccident rate compared with other industries because it is a representative labor-intensive industry involving various tasks performed simultaneously [3][4][5][6]. In addition, risk assessment, which identifies and analyzes risks performed by each construction process from a design and construction perspective, is a key element of safety management [7][8][9].…”

Quantitative Analysis of the Accident Prevention Costs in Korean Construction Projects

It is essential to objectively evaluate accident prevention costs (APCs) to respond to high-accident rates in the construction industry. However, currently, no quantitative APC analysis model considers the properties of the Korean construction industry. Therefore, in this study, the APC quantification structure was derived to comprehensively evaluate the properties of Korean construction projects, such as occupational safety and health management funds, safety management expenses, and others. Subsequently, the current status of APC in Korea was analyzed based on case studies on 38 projects for which questionnaires were collected. As a result of the study, the average ratio of the APC to total construction cost of the target project was calculated to be 1.95%. In addition, an average difference exists between groups according to client types and facility types in the target project. This study developed an APC quantification model considering Korea’s safety-related laws and insurance systems. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as objective data for evaluation according to the target project type.
