Bridge Maintenance, Safety Management, Health Monitoring and Informatics - Hyun-Moo Koh - 2008







Preface

The number of deteriorating bridges is increasing worldwide. Costs of maintenance, repair and

rehabilitation of these bridges far exceed available budgets. Maintaining the safety of existing

bridges by making better use of available resources is a major concern for bridge management.

Internationally, the bridge engineering profession has taken positive steps to develop more comprehensive

bridge management. It was therefore considered appropriate to bring together all of the

very best work that has been done in the field of bridge maintenance, safety, management, lifecycle

performance, health monitoring, informatics and cost at the Fourth International Conference

on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS’08), held in Seoul, Korea from July

13 to 17, 2008. The First (IABMAS’02), Second (IABMAS’04) and Third (IABMAS’06) International

Conferences on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management were held in Barcelona,

Spain, July 14–17, 2002, Kyoto, Japan, October 18–22, 2004, and Porto, Portugal, July 16–19,
