Research of Inservice Arch Bridge Superstructure Damage Status and Evaluation Index System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Scientific and integrated index system is a basic approach to accurately assess actual structure state of inservice arch bridge. It could provide clear evaluation guidance to assessment work of existing bridges. What is more, it is aimed to avoid or reduce erroneous and omission judgement phenomenon of bridge damage assessment by the grassroots-level maintenance workers. Based on summation of variety common damage in common arch bridges, this paper adopts AHP (analytic hierults are aimed to provide effective method and basis to long-term, persistent damage evaluaarchy process) method to establish arch bridge superstructure damage evaluation model with structure member (or component), the restion of inservice arch bridge.
