| Summary: | Condition assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridge is a complex subject imbued with
uncertainty and vagueness. This complexity arises from numbers and relations of
problems in reinforced concrete bridges. Condition assessment process requires deep
knowledge of the behavior of Reinforced Concrete Bridge, awareness of change, good
understanding of design process and skillful person. This requirement can be achieved
through a comprehensive expert system, which may represent human expertise.
The aim of this project is to develop an expert system for condition assessment of
reinforced concrete bridges. The system should be an efficient tool to guide the field
inspectors during identification of potential problems associated with existing reinforced
concrete bridges. It is developed by integrating the existing condition assessment
procedures by the Public Work Department (JKR), which is only based on visual
inspection, and the results obtained through non-destructive test (NDT) techniques and
finite element analysis.The system has been successfully developed. Its final output, which not only is displayed
on the monitor but also can be saved in a computer file and sent to a printer. Having this
computation power, one file is created for each bridge at a particular area and quantitative
comparison can be done faster and much more precisely than the available methods of
condition assessment. |
