The bridge system is essential for transportation networks, facilitating movement across urban and natural landscapes. The focus of this study is on its maintenance strategies, deterioration mechanisms, and optimization of service life. The integration examines how bridge maintenance affects connected structures, including high-rise and residential buildings.
Ontology of Repair and Maintenance of a Bridge
The ontology categorizes structural components such as piers, decks, expansion joints, and load-bearing materials. It defines interactions between environmental stressors, material fatigue, and maintenance interventions.
Parametric Design of the Bridge System
Parametric modeling investigates maintenance schedules, structural reinforcements, and material durability. Scenario analysis is conducted to optimize long-term performance while minimizing costs.
