“…Madanat et al [44], Moomen et al [14], and Saeed et al [53] have developed different deterioration models for Indiana. The common factors found in the three studies were the following: age, ADT, state or non-state type of bridges, freeze and thaw cycles, number of spans, bridge length, skewness, and type of services under the bridge.…”

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.

“…Several researchers conducted time-dependent reliability analysis for evaluating existing or rehabilitated bridges [154][155][156][157][158][159][160]. For example, using MC simulation, Zhu et al [154] presented a probabilistic method for evaluating time-dependent reliability of reinforced-concrete bridge components to predict residual capacity after subsequent rehabilitation.…”

Traditional design approaches in civil engineering mainly focus on codes/guidelines related to building an infrastructure, while performance-based analysis (PBA), an emerging new reality around the world, focuses on the performance of the end product. Professional organizations, academicians, and the industry have made significant contributions in formulating PBA in various civil engineering fields, where practical guidelines and principles have been adopted in infrastructure analysis. This paper presents a critical review of PBA applications in three civil engineering fields: transportation, environmental, and structural engineering. The applications are grouped into a wide array of civil engineering areas, including highway transportation, pavement design and management, air transportation, water-structures design and operation, landfill design, building architectural design for evacuation, urban energy design, building earthquake-based design, building wind-based design, and bridge design and management. A total of 187 publications on PBA were reviewed and details on 122 application papers (from 23 countries/regions) are presented. The review consists of vertical and horizontal scans of PBA applications. In the vertical scan, the applications in each civil engineering area are summarized in tabular format that shows the system element modeled, analysis objective, performance criteria, analytical tool, and specifications/codes. The horizontal scan (discussion and lessons learned) addresses the following aspects of PBA: (1) the wide array of analytical tools used, (2) the broad functional and process-related areas, (3) the advantages, challenges, and opportunities, and (4) potential future applications. It is hoped that the state-of-the-art review presented in this paper will help researchers/practitioners quickly find useful information about PBA and promote its development in their respective fields.

A methodology for performance assessment of prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridge system, based on strain monitoring in limited number of girders, is proposed in this paper. The methodology uses Polya urn model for determining probabilities of the bridge system being in different condition states with respect to loss of prestress. Performability measure is used for describing the performance of the bridge system. A condition state is assigned for the bridge system from a predefined set of condition states. The time for detailed inspection is determined as the time instant at which the performability of the bridge system becomes less than the target/required performance level. Performance assessment of a bridge system with one hundred PSC girders is considered for illustrating the methodology. The obtained values of condition state probabilities and performability for the considered scenarios (i.e., different number of monitored girders with prestress loss exceeding the allowable value) suggest that the methodology is able to consider the value of available information.
