Abstract

The Japanese central and local governments are deeply concerned about the management of existing bridges. This is because the number of deteriorated bridges is increasing due to increasing volume of traffic, increasing weight of road vehicles, and structural aging. However, the budget limitations of local governments for bridge maintenance actions and new construction are much more severe than those of the central government. The Yamaguchi prefectural government is one of the leading prefectures interested in developing a practical management method and a computerized system for existing bridges. The authors contributed to the development of a comprehensive bridge management system with co-workers at Yamaguchi University and the Yamaguchi prefectural government. This paper presents an inspection support system for existing bridges in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The system consists of two main subsystems: bridge inspection reporting system and web-based bridge inspection database system. Several screen shots of the system are presented in order to demonstrate how this system performs.
