Preface
The last five years have seen the art of bridge management develop into a mature subject.
Bridge owners and engineers recognise the importance of implementing fully operational
bridge management strategies to ensure that all road and rail bridges remain functional for as
long as possible. Bridge structures form a major part of the vast financial investment in
infrastructure and consequently their careful management involving structural appraisal,
repair and strengthening is of paramount importance. Factors such as the chosen repair
method can influence how often and for how long a bridge structure is out of operation. This
in turn, determines the ensuing traffic and/or rail delay costs and also any resulting increase
in traffic pollution.
The 511 volume on Bridge Management contains over eighty papers which span the fields of
bridge management systems, inspection methods, structural assessment and maintenance
strategies; together with the latest reliability and risk management techniques. Almost all of
these papers have been presented at the Fifth International Conference on Bridge
Management held at the University of Surrey in Guildford, UK in 2005.
The book should prove to be a very useful reference manual for all bridge owners and
engineers engaged in bridge design, assessment, repair and strengthening. The volume is
also recommended as a reference text for other professionals who are concerned with care of
the environment and the minimisation of pollution due to traffic delays and non-conventional
repair and protection methods.
The editors and conference organisers are affiliated to the University of Surrey and have a
strong interest in both bridge design and bridge related research. A Masters degree course in
Bridge Engineering has been successfully run at the University of Surrey for the last thirty-
seven years. This course, which is unique in the UK, is now fully modular and contains units
on bridge design to the latest codes of practice, analysis techniques, modern assessment
methods and durability. Over the last five years the course has become available for study by
distance learning and at present over seventy students are enrolled on the distance learning
programme.
The editors and conference organisers would like to offer their sincere thanks to all of the
technical committee who have given their help so freely to make the Conference a
worthwhile and stimulating event for the exchange of ideas and expert knowledge. A final
word of thanks is also due to the authors themselves who have produced such interesting and
well-written papers which have in turn made the editors' job a real pleasure to perform.
