In recent years, Japan is assisting techniques and capacity development of bridge maintenance and management for developing countries all over the world. And the activities of these projects aimed at formulation of maintenance and management plans, including bridge inspection and repair techniques, are being carried out. However, the current condition of the bridge to be managed is not understood and there is no effective data for the formulation of bridge maintenance plans when it is at the start of technical cooperation project because bridge inspection activities have not been carried out in many developing countries.
To carry out efficient and effective bridge maintenance management, it is essential to consolidate bridge inventory data and inspection data. In this paper, the method of a bridge database development of about 2, 400 bridges nationwide managed by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport of Cambodia during the JICA technical cooperation project period will be described.
