Development And Implementation Of The Next Generation Bridge Management System For Wisconsin Phase Ii PDF Download

In 2004, the Wisconsin Highway Research Program (WHRP) initiated project # 0092-04-15, entitled, "Bridge Integrated Analysis and Decision Support--Case Histories (Phase I)" at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to document the existing knowledge related to Wisconsin bridge incidents in the form of a database of case histories. That study was completed in 2007 where for the database for each case study included detailed information on the bridge, past repair and maintenance, description of the events, reporting, and initial and subsequent responses by the responsible parties, and any resulting remediation. The database entitled "Bridge Incident Response Database" (BIRD) is web-based and searchable with "keywords" and it is detailed in the final report (SPR # 0092-04-15) that was published in January 2008.
