Specifically this section touches on some of the more general themes and issues behind key bridge related highway concerns the preparation of final contract documents and the development and implementation of computer assisted Bridge Management Systems. Abridge is not a discrete component which is designed built and then forgotten about. At the onset of the text it was stated that the common highway bridge structure . is one of the most integral components in any transportation network. It is fitting that we end the text with this same thought in mind for it is the downfall of many design engineers to view their work in discrete terms. As we have seen in the preceding sections the ideas of design rehabilitation and maintenance are closely interwoven to form a cohesive fabric. Rather than being independent topics these issues impact one another and in many ways influence the performance of a highway bridge throughout its life. In this section we will touch on some important issues concerning the final implementation and eventual management of highway bridges. These implementation and management issues specifically concern the incorporation of a bridge into the highway itself. Another topic discussed is the preparation of final contract documents which act as the manuscript of a bridge engineer s efforts. Finally we will briefly touch on a subject which is gaining increased importance in the profession the management of groups of bridges in a highway network. Figure Whether a bridge is large or small it is still just one component in a highway network. Downloaded from Digital Engineering Library @ McGraw-Hill Copyright 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies.
