Course Description
Like any other infrastructure construction bridges require regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure a safe and long service life. In the past, bridges were expected to last about 60 years; however, current technology and design allow the bridges that are built today to last longer. High traffic volume, heavy trucks and weather conditions all reduce a bridge’s lifespan. Regular maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation can largely offset the impact of these factors on a bridge’s lifespan.This course discuss the maintenance and inspection process needed for different types of bridges.
Course Objectives
- Determine if overall structure is critically prone
- Describe the current trends for bridge inspection
- Evaluate defects whether they are visible or invisible in the bridge
- Learn about the latest technologies utilized around the world for bridge inspections
