Changing Safety Standards
Caltrans Bridge Preservation Process Inspection Findings
Seismic Analysis Operational Improvements
Scour Analysis
All Bridge Needs
Caltrans Crew Work (Minor repair work and bridge painting)
Crew work is tracked by date of recommendation. A priority for the repair is determined by the engineer. Performance measures are used to monitor program (BLOS)
Major Maintenance (Major repairs and preventative maintenance)
SHOPP (Rehab, replacement, safety and risk mitigation)
Needs are tracked by date of recommendation
Needs split out into components based on the type of need.
Needs are minor or preventative in nature Priority for the repair is determined by engineers Performance measures are used to monitor program
Priorities are based on structural needs, economic analysis and risks using utility functions. Full project management in place. 3

Summary
Three pronged approach to bridge preservation (crews, maintenance/preservation and capital contracts) Inflow of preservation needs are increasing but new rehab needs are decreasing. Priorities of crew and preservation work is set by inspector as a timeframe for completion of work. Capital rehabilitation and replacements compete in a multi-objective utility cost benefit framework. Future functional considerations are being built into some bridges in California. Simple performance measures help decision makers understand bridge preservation needs. 10
