Visual inspection and bridge management [PDF]
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2017 AbstractThis paper estimates visual inspection quantitatively prior to its implementation in a Bridge Management System using a Value of Information (VoI) approach employing a Bayesian pre-posterior analysis. Information from a significant number of real bridges from Ireland and Portugal are considered in this regard following existing commercial ...
