Maintenance actions typically classified as preventative and substantial. Preventative maintenance actions taken to prevent deterioration and keep the structure fully operational while substantial maintenance actions are taken to repair an existing damage and improve the condition. Substantial maintenance work is usually comprehensive while preventative maintenance work is relatively small scale.<\/p>\n

Preventative maintenance activities on bridges, roadways and tunnels are typically focused to reduce the impact of water and traffic. The main goals are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensuring proper drainage of water<\/li>\n
  2. Sealing the materials of structural elements from exposure to water<\/li>\n
  3. Improving the surface conditions to prevent accelerated deterioration<\/li>\n
  4. Providing proper guidance for drivers on the roadway, over the bridge and in the tunnel

    Substantial\u00a0maintenance activities on bridges, roadways and tunnels, on the other hand, are as follows:<\/p>\n

      INTEGRATED STRATEGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Maintenance of a civil system rely on information collected on its components, which can provide the us an accurate assessment of the overall condition state.<\/p>\n

      Our\u00a0aim is to minimize the duration of the interventions and to maximize the\u00a0gap\u00a0between\u00a0them. We can attain this goal by aligning the maintenance strategies of the subsystems. After integrating the maintenance plans of all subsystems, the following timeline and pareto plots are obtained:<\/p>\n

      \"1920-1001-max\"<\/a><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The optimal option would be obtained by\u00a0is minimizing the duration of the interruptions and maximizing the distance between interventions. We can rank the alternatives to evaluate\u00a0and select the best alternative which is the best for our preference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      332 alternatives are ranked in the plot below based on\u00a0our preference.<\/p>\n

      Our preference is visualized by the Pareto frontier in the first graph\u00a0below. The blue line represents the Pareto frontier\u00a0and the dark black point in the top-left corner represents the best alternative based on the preferences. In the second graph, the opposite case is represented, which is low distance and high duration.<\/p>\n
