• Abstract:
  Resources - especially funds allotted - for the maintenance of bridges, are generally scanty. Thus, it becomes difficult to select bridges for maintenance from among several competing bridges to ensure their safety and serviceability to the desired level. A bridge health index is considered a reasonably accurate depiction of the condition of a bridge and hence is the basis for most of the decisions on fund allocation. However, it still remains to be seen whether such a decision-making tool results in an efficient fund allocation. From data collected on Indian bridges, it is observed that fund allocation based on bridge condition is not always judicious. Rather, a number of factors affect the final decision on fund allocation. Hence, an alternative approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been used for scoring the efficiency of 14 bridges selected for the study. Depending on the availability of data, this method can take into account other factors besides the bridge health index that influence decisions on maintenance planning. The variables selected for the DEA are: bridge health index, deck area of the bridge, maintenance cost of the bridge, and the age of the bridge. The allocation of funds for the maintenance of bridges based on DEA has proved to be comparatively more efficient. This has been illustrated with the help of a numerical example. The proposed method would enable bridge authorities to formulate better strategies for planning and executing bridge maintenance activities in a cost-effective manner.
