Prospect for Implementation of Road Infrastructure Asset Management

Abstract:

Infrastructure has to be adequately planned, designed, executed and maintained to keep its structural performance over respective requirements throughout its life-cycle. However, infrastructure suffering from serious deterioration in structural members and subsequent loss in performance have been often found due to various reasons. To meet these facts, it is extremely important to pursue coordination of engineering work in the stages of design, execution and maintenance. The infrastructure management including the concepts of the life-cycle management and the asset management is an organized system to support engineering-based decision making for ensuring sufficient structural performance and long life of a structure at the design, execution, maintenance, and all related work during its life-cycle. This paper deals with infrastructure management system and an example of its application for a road bridge from seriously deteriorated.
