Cooperation between Public Works Research Institute and Technical College through Maintenance of Old Bridges Managed by Local Government

Abstract

Public Works Research Institute has already made many cooperative agreements with universities and technical colleges. One of the items introduced in these agreements is to incorporate the maintenance works of the bridges managed by local governments. This gives chances to the students to study about the civil structures by OJT and helps the local government to maintain the structures. The paper explains the present situation of the local governments and offers ideas for practical method of education.
