AB  - The main objective of the COST Action TU1406 is to develop a guideline for the establishment of Quality Control plans for roadway bridges. The guideline is based on conclusions of Working groups 1 and 2 of the Action and is further developed with the contributions and findings of members of Working group 3. The paper presents the overview of the developed framework, where gradual damage processes as well as sudden events are being addressed in evaluation of Key Performance Indicators. The proposed framework relies on data from design and construction phase, as well as from results from visual inspections that are used for an assessment of safety and serviceability - the primary concerns of bridge managers. Special attention is aimed at possible Failure modes and related bridge Vulnerable zones. These are, for instance high moment regions, high shear regions and constructions joints, but can also be zones of bridge conceptual weaknesses. Since there are differences in design and materials for various bridge types, the suitability of the framework is tested separately for girder/frame bridges and arch bridges. Due to the specifics of sudden events, the application of the framework is given separately from gradual damage processes. Emphasis is given on flooding and scour as these are the most common culprits of bridge failures. The steps in the implementation of the framework are briefly shown and an illustrative example is presented.

AB  - There is a broad consensus that the benefits of road infrastructure for the society cannot be overestimated. The investments in road infrastructure raise the growth potential of a national economy, which can be fully exploited by efficient utilization of the road infrastructure. It is difficult to quantify the economic benefit of road infrastructure but its lower bound is estimated to be between 4% (U.S. DOT, 2015) and 10% (Kurte & Esser, 2008), (ARE, ASTRA, 2006) of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Apart from purely economic benefit, the road infrastructure enables road users to be involved in various activities that yield private, public and social benefits (Frischmann, 2012). Maintaining these benefits on the long run in economically efficient, environmentally responsible and socially reconcilable manner, is the fundamental task of road authorities. They are bound to provide fast, safe, comfortable, and affordable travel. The quality control plan here presented specifies all activities and tools, needed to ensure quality. In case of road infrastructure, the quality control plan defines the extent and the interval of inspections or investigations and data necessary to estimate key performance indicators (KPI) and forecast their future development. Quality control plan also includes decision model that suggest maintenance action based on the forecast of key performance indicators.
AB  - Postoji širok konsenzus da se društvena dobit od drumske infrastrukture ne sme potceniti. Ulaganja u putnu infrastrukturu povećavaju potencijal rasta nacionalne ekonomije, koji se može u potpunosti iskoristiti efikasnim korišćenjem putne infrastrukture. Teško je kvantifikovati ekonomsku korist putne infrastrukture, ali procenjuje se da je njena donja granica između 4% (US DOT, 2015) i 10% (Kurte & Esser, 2008), (ARE, ASTRA, 2006) bruto domaćeg proizvoda (BDP). Osim čisto ekonomske koristi, putna infrastruktura omogućava učesnicima u saobraćaju da budu uključeni u različite aktivnosti koje donose privatnu, javnu i društvenu korist (Frischmann, 2012). Održavanje ovih beneficija na dugi rok na ekonomski efikasan, ekološki odgovoran i društveno pomiran način, osnovni je zadatak putnih vlasti. Oni su dužni da obezbede brzo, sigurno, udobno i pristupačno putovanje. Ovdje predstavljeni plan kontrole kvaliteta specificira sve aktivnosti i alate potrebne za osiguranje kvaliteta. U slučaju putne infrastrukture, plan kontrole kvaliteta definiše obim i interval inspekcija ili istraživanja i podatke neophodne za procenu ključnih pokazatelja učinka (KPI) i predviđanje njihovog budućeg razvoja. Plan kontrole kvaliteta takođe uključuje model odlučivanja koji predlaže akcije održavanja na osnovu predviđanja ključnih pokazatelja učinka.

AB  - Tools, guidelines and standards for assessment of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of built environment e.g. buildings, infrastructure assets etc. have gained impact over the past years. Owner and operator application of tools, guidelines and standards enhances optimization of operation and maintenance with due respect to their budgets. In order to aid owners, operators and their designers, a task group under fib has been established to prepare a state-of-the-art report regarding LCC analyses of concrete assets. The state-of-the-art report contains a description of existing LCC standards and guidelines, their applicability, the definition of different cost elements, and the treatment of uncertain information in a reliability or risk based framework, etc. providing the reader with background information and methodology for preparation of such analysis. Moreover, the report contains case studies, presenting the applicability of the LCC analysis methodology.

AB  - Infrastructure Managers works every day according to some kind of Quality Control Plan (QCP) in order to ensure a desired quality with minimum traffic interruption balancing cost, risks (implicit or explicit) and performance. These QCPs varies significantly among European countries, which urges the establishment of a common European guideline. COST TU1406 Working Group 3 has the aim of providing a detailed explanation of the steps towards the establishment of a QCP. The approach is generic and evaluates performance values with due attention to: 1) Structure and its constitutive element incl. background material such as birth certificates, 2) Time-dependent Performance Indicators (PI) from observations (e.g. spalling) with due reference to the underlying deterioration processes (e.g. alkali-silica reaction) and 3) Related Key Performance Indicators (KPI) based on the Dutch risk-driven maintenance concept RAMSSHE€P, ref. [1]. This paper outline QCP's for concrete girder and frame bridges.
