ABSTRACT: In current bridge maintenance practice, condition grades are assigned to individual bridges,
based on regularly performed inspections. The main limitations to this approach are the time-discrete and also
subjective nature of grade assignment. In this research, a system model-based approach has been developed to
accurately model ...
