Deterioration and
Cost
Information for Bridge Management
Final report for CDOT project
87-60 to assemble
deterioration, action and cost data for CDOT's Pontis BMS preservation
model. The project will populate data tables in
Pontis,
operate the
preservation model and evaluate the quality of outcomes, and establish
automated procedures for ongoing preparation and use of
construction cost data in
CDOT's
Pontis system.

National
Bridge Maintenance Database
NCHRP Report 668 on development
of a system for uniform reporting, archiving and retrieval of data on
maintenance work on highway bridges. The database
will allow
transportation departments to study effectiveness of maintenance
products and methods through examination of performance at multiple
DOTs. Sponsor: NCHRP. Project: 14-15.

Feasibility
of a Management System for Retaining Walls and Sound Barriers
Blueprint for asset management
systems for retaining
walls and
sound barriers. Wall/barrier management systems
are implemented within
existing software for bridge management such as AASHTOWare's Pontis
management system. The project developed
inventory record for walls and barriers, elements for walls and
barriers, the use of components for hidden elements of walls, condition
states, and appraisals, together with initial recommendations on
inspection practices and intervals.
