A bridge management system (BMS) is a set of methodologies and procedures for managing information about bridges. Such system is capable of document and process data along the entire life cycle of the structure steps: project design, construction, monitoring, maintenance and end of operation. [1] [2]
He is Chairman of the UK Bridge Owners Forum, established in 2000 by representatives of the bridge owning organisations in the UK.He has been awarded the Diploma of the Henry Adams Award of the Institution of Structural Engineers (1999) and the Telford Premium Award (1999) and Telford Gold Medal (2010) from the Institution of Civil Engineers.
There are several types of bridge protection systems used: [7] Pile-supported fender system on the James P. Houlihan Memorial Bridge. Fender systems attached to the pier with the goal to absorb the vessel impact. Their ability to withstand a typical ship collision is low. Fenders are built using a variety of materials: [8] thin-walled concrete box;
Materials and Structures is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Science+Business Media on behalf of RILEM (the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures). It covers research on fundamental properties of building materials, their characterization and processing ...
The Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the mechanics of materials and deformable structures of all types. It was established by Charles R. Steele , who was also the first editor-in-chief .
Structural health monitoring (SHM) involves the observation and analysis of a system over time using periodically sampled response measurements to monitor changes to the material and geometric properties of engineering structures such as bridges and buildings. In an operational environment, structures degrade with age and use.
A publication dealing with failures of buildings, bridges, and other structures, is the Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, [9] [non-primary source needed] which is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, under the umbrella of its Technical Council on Forensic Engineering.
