Title: WHOLE LIFE COSTING IN ROAD BRIDGES APPLIED TO SERVICE LIFE PREDICTION
Abstract: Functional performance is measured through a long-term economic analysis. In this paper, a whole life costs function intended for concrete road bridges is presented, in which all costs and benefits obtained from each bridge included in a road network from the design stage to its replacement/demolition are considered. The use of the function is exemplified by a case study in which the widening optimum time is obtained for a bridge showing deterioration of its level of service. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 882313.
