The trunnion rods that operate tainter gates on many of the nation’s earthen and concrete dams are aging and deteriorating, sometimes to the point of posing a safety hazard. But the typical method of determining the useful remaining life of such ro

A procedure is presented for obtaining the reliability of series, parallel, and mixed systems. The method, called Most Probable Point System Simulation (MPPSS) is simple, and numerically-based. We do not make any claims of analytic advance. Neverthel

Bridge management based on reliability methods permits the selection of the set of repair projects that minimizes the total network risk in a planning horizon. This approach, previously proposed by the authors, uses the Markovian model for the decay

This paper outlines a methodology for bridge project selection based on reliability methods and optimization procedures, which could serve as part of a bridge management system. The Markovian model is used to decay the structural components. Then, a
