Exploring the concept of bridge functional index in the context of climate change impacts on transportation infrastructure. Ikpong, A. & Bagchi, A. In volume 1, pages 685 - 694, Edmonton, AB, Canada, 2012. Bridge management system;Bridge performance;Climate change impact;Component dimensions;Material durability;Public investments;Structural strength;Transportation infrastructures;abstract bibtex While the authors of current bridge management systems (BMSs) have noted the need for expanding the systems to include the functional aspects of bridge performance, to date no method has been proposed to accomplish that objective. Existing BMSs (e.g., Pontis or BMSs used in Canadian jurisdictions) still evaluate bridge performance based solely on the bridge conditions, which focuses on the degradation of structural strength, material durability, component dimensions, etc. This paper presents a new procedure for extending the asset management scope for highway bridges to incorporate some aspects of bridge resilience or vulnerability, which are best classified under the term bridge functional index. The proposed procedure draws from the projected demands of climate change - a worldwide phenomenon that is expected to produce its most dramatic impacts in cold regions. The following bridge functional indices are proposed: abutment washout, pier scour, abutment erosion, deck flooding, and abutment permafrost stability. The formulations for the proposed indices require weight factors to be assigned to each index. The other requirement comprises capacity measures that indicate how well a bridge is equipped to withstand the projected climatic effects. The new procedure has been applied to four highway bridges in the Canadian Arctic to demonstrate how public investments in transportation infrastructure could be better managed and protected.
