| Summary: | Ensuring the safety and reliability of bridges through the implementation of cost-effective asset management strategies is crucial for sustaining a resilient transportation infrastructure network. Thus, the utilization of structural health monitoring (SHM) was investigated to enhance the operation and maintenance of bridges, with a focus on best practices and strategic implementation. Specifically, this study aimed to explore methods that leverage SHM to enhance bridge-asset management practices. The existing literature on bridge asset management was used as a foundation for identifying the value of SHM in bridge operation and maintenance. While the general literature on SHM and asset management is extensive, very few studies effectively linked these two domains. By conducting a comprehensive review of relevant studies and successful integration cases, the results of this study offered the appropriate application of SHM in bridge asset management. The processes observed were then integrated into a strategic framework, serving as a practical guide for managers seeking to implement SHM effectively in bridge asset management, particularly during the operation and maintenance phase of the bridge lifecycle. |
