Reliability-based optimal next inspection time of prestressed concrete bridges including the effect of corrosion deterioration

As the traffic demands grow constantly, and some vehicle bridges deteriorate due to corrosion, bridge agencies require non expensive procedures to support decisions on cost-effective maintenance schedules. In this paper a reliability-based formulation is proposed for the prediction of the next inspe...
