Safety and Extension of Life Time of Road Bridges

Road bridges are fundamental infrastructure in all national, regional or local road networks. In many developed countries, significant budgets were invested on road infrastructure including road bridges during the economic growth. Due to this situation, many developed countries are facing a problem related to aging of road bridges. Developing countries have devoted their investment to infrastructure in more recent times and will face similar aging issues in the future.
