Bridge management is not merely a routine\, but an art\, which ensures that bridges remain fit for their intended purpose over a long period at minimum life cycle cost. He gave various examples of bridge collapses in India along with the causes behind them and the follow up action plans that were implemented. – Click here for complete presentation \n \n \n \n \n \n Prof. P.K. Sikdar\, concluded the session by adding that without continuous and regularly collected data\, effective asset management was not possible. Without a dedicated inspection fund\, how can the asset management be effectively carried out. Bridges should be analyzed within the framework of bridge asset management.
