Multihazard Applications in Bridge Management

All components of bridge management have a potential for multihazard implications. Hence, accommodating multihazard strategy in bridge management can increase safety and security at reasonable costs. This paper first shows a simple and general quantitative method for computing multihazard effects on different bridge management tools and then discusses multihazard considerations as they apply to several bridge management tools, such as inspection, guides and manuals, and repair–retrofit.
