Workshop on Reliability Incorporation in Highway Bridge Engineering

9412825 Frangopol计划于1995年8月在科罗拉多州博尔德举办为期两天的研讨会，主题是“公路桥梁工程中的可靠性”。研讨会将包括结构可靠性的现代概念和方法，以及它们在制定新的公路桥梁荷载和抗力系数设计(LRFD)规范中的作用。此外，还将制定基于可靠性的桥梁检查要求，探索确保桥梁高度安全的维护策略，并概述优化桥梁维护计划的方法。最后，将讨论在桥梁荷载模型、劣化模型以及基于可靠性的评估在桥梁管理系统中的集成方面的研究成果。该研讨会将向州公路官员、州桥梁工程师、桥梁检查员、桥梁设计师和桥梁维护人员传授现代可靠性技术方面的信息。它将为管理美国桥梁基础设施系统的个人提供一个独特的论坛和机会，让他们更好地了解和应用公路桥梁工程中的现代可靠性概念和方法。此次研讨会的文件将在全美范围内广泛分发给所有交通部门、公路桥梁官员和执业桥梁工程师。***

9412825 Frangopol A 2 day workshop on "reliability Incorporation in Highway Bridge Engineering" is proposed for August 1995, in boulder, Colorado. The workshop will include modern concepts and methods in structural reliability and their role in the development of the new load and resistance factor design (LRFD) code for highway bridges. Also, reliability-based requirements for inspection of bridges will be developed, maintenance strategies for assurance of high bridge safety will be explored, and methods for optimization of bridge maintenance programs will be outlined. Finally, on going research results in bridge load models, deterioration models, and the integration of reliability-based assessments in bridge management systems will be discussed. This workshop will provide transfer of information on modern reliability technology to state highway officials, state bridge engineers, bridge inspectors, bridge designers, and bridge maintenance personnel. It will provide a unique forum and opportunity to individuals who manage the U.S. bridge infrastructure system, to better understand and apply modern reliability concepts and methods in highway bridge engineering. The documents of this workshop will be widely distributed throughout the United States to all Departments of Transportation, highway bridge officials and practicing bridge engineers. ***
