Abstract
Bridges are vital in the means of transportation because they facilitate connectivity, which in turn enables economic development. Exposure to different environmental factors with time, combined with the aging materials and increased traffic, results in structural decay. Effective planar bridge maintenance and repair methods are important for sustaining safety, increasing service life, and managing lifecycle costs. This paper outlines different types of maintenance approaches like preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance. Routine pre emptive checking, cleaning, and scheduled minor repairs are all part of “Prevention” maintenance. Focused minor damage repair, such as cracks and parts, are a part of “Corrective” maintenance, while predicting failures, and using latest technologies like sensors and being able to do timely scheduled repairs is termed “Predictive” maintenance. The utilization of self-healing concrete, fiber-reinforced polymers, automated repair systems, and other cutting edge materials and techniques, are aimed at enhancing durability and minimizing repair requirements. The systematic prioritization and resource allocation, through the use of a Bridge Management System (BMS), is also discussed. This method is very effective because it takes into account the broader context as well as employing aggressive strategies that target the issue directly.
