Analysing the impact of local factors on the life cycle of metallic bridge girders (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Calvert, G., Hamer, M., Neves, L., & Andrews, J. (2023, July). Analysing the impact of local factors on the life cycle of metallic bridge girders. Presented at Eighth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE 2023), Milan, Italy

A fundamental component of a life cycle analysis of a bridge is the modelling of asset condition post-construction. To enhance the accuracy of bridge deterioration models, several studies have calibrated models based on cohorts that incorporate struc...
