BRIDGE MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE SWEDISH NATIONAL ROAD ADMINISTRATION. BRIDGE MANAGEMENT. INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR. PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BRIDGE MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSITY OF SURREY, GUILDFORD, MARCH 28-30, 1990

The Swedish National Road Administration is responsible for a bridge stock comprising some 11000 bridges, representing a replacement value of some SEK 25 billion at the 1987 price level. During the coming 10-year period the Administration expects to invest about SEK 1 billion per annum in maintenance, repair, reconstruction and replacement. It is of the utmost importance for these allocations to be utilised efficiently in order to be of maximum benefit from a socio-economic viewpoint. Within the Administration a new aid to systematic administration of the actions required to manage the bridge stock in an optimum manner is currently being developed. Developments hitherto have led to the introduction of an ADP-based information system, Bridge Data, facilitating a number of manual administrative routines during the planning and operating stage. Further developments involve, among other things, an overview and possible computerisation of these manual routines, leading to a complete bridge management system (BMS).(A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 830553.
