THE OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE IN PROBABILITY-BASED BRIDGE MANAGEMENT

This paper describes how the Danish Road Directorate is applying probability- based bridge management as a part of the maintenance management of older or deteriorated bridges. The core idea is to maintain the safety of the bridges and the motivation is cost savings. The approach is briefly described. It is shown that there is a legal justification for applying probabilistic techniques in the safety evaluation. Practical experience from the two bridges in Figure 1 is presented. Finally, the future perspectives and policy of the Danish Road Directorate are presented with a clear recommendation for other bridge owners and some indications of the expected level of cost savings.
