A METHOD FOR DETERMINING BRIDGE PAINTING CYCLES

FACTORS INFLUENCING EFFECTIVENESS, COST, AND TIME CYCLES FOR BRIDGE PAINTING ARE DISCUSSED. STRUCTURAL, ENVIRONMENTAL , AND CHEMICAL FACTORS OF THE PAINT SYSTEM ARE CONSIDERED IN THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL DESCRIBED. HOW MATHEMATICAL EVALUATION CAN AFFECT THE DECISION OF OPTIMUM PAINTING CYCLE TIMES IS SHOWN. THE PROCEDURE HAS BEEN USED BY PORT OF NEW YORK AUTHORITY, TUNNELS AND BRIDGES DEPARTMENT, TO EVALUATE PAINTING CYCLES FOR NEW YORK BRIDGES.
