BRIDGE RELIABILITY IN DENMARK

In this paper, bridge reliability in Denmark is described on the basis of the experience learned by participating in an EU supported project on expert systems for optimal reliability-based inspection and maintenance of reinforced concrete bridges. Two expert modules are briefly described. Expert system module BRIDGE1 is used at the bridge site to assist during the inspection. BRIDGE2 is used after an inspection during the detailed analysis of the bridge when testing in the laboratory has taken place.
