Title

Bridge Life Cycle Cost Analysis

Abstract

The paper presents a methodology of life cycle cost analysis (LCCA), which is used for the best economic design for both structural integrity and durability, comparison of alternative design approaches, Comparison of alternative strategies, Identification of cost effective improvement, Project's budget cum economic viability assessment and Long term financial planning. Structural deterioration increases with the age of the bridge structure due to concrete spalling, rebar rusting, corrosion, fatigue, wear and tear and other methods of material deterioration. Traffic volume, vehicle number and legal load limits increase with time in the future. When the ageing bridge structures are subjected to these kinds of excessive loads, then the structural capability of it reduces. Therefore, LCCA method is best suited to maintain the bridge in good condition index, for the ever-increasing loads and traffic on deteriorated bridge. All types of cost like initial, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, aesthetical, cultural value, environmental impact etc. Associated with the bridge during its whole service life. Currently, almost only functional performance and conventional financial costing guides the design of a new bridge. A new life cycle framework to integrate all cost to keep the bridge in good service condition like maintenance, user cost, the aesthetical; cultural value and the environmental impact with the economic issues become very essential for achieving sustainable infrastructure.
