Abstract
As bridge is a part of road network and social asset, the asset value of bridge is dealt with in this paper. Degradation of member is considered as the decrease of asset value. To evaluate the asset value of a whole bridge, each asset value of structural member is investigated Taking each structural dimension into account, the initial cost of a whole bridge can be calculated as an asset value. Inspection data given by bridge inspection manual is used as deterioration factor and present remaining asset value is evaluated including deterioration. Taking the ratio between a remaining asset value and initial cost, the ratio is called Bridge Health Index (BHI). And those result of BHI is compared with the result of previous paper and validity of BHI is analyzed.
