Abstract
This paper describes the DANBRO bridge management and maintenance system (BMMS) and the aspects of implementing the BMMS at bridge authorities.
The system provides a rational and systematic approach to organising and carrying out activities related to bridge management. It consists of:
-
A database system.
-
Three modules:
-
The inventory module.
-
The inspection and bearing capacity module.
-
The ranking and budgeting module.
-
-
Manuals for all activities.
The implementation of BMMS is illustrated by two case studies: the Danish State Railways (2500 bridges) and the Department of Highways in Thailand (10 000 bridges).
