Since regional bridges are widely distributed and large in quantity

it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate them. This paper establishes a condition assessment theory for regional bridges based on the integrated multi-source information of single bridge. The database of regional bridges is stored within a “route-bridge-component” formation

which is extracted from inspection reports

monitoring systems

traffic data

design drawings

and so on. Based on the integrated multi-source information of regional bridges

the performance evaluation of the regional bridges and network-level assessment can be carried out. Taking a partial highway in Hebei province as an example

three sub-regions were divided according to climate characteristics

and the overall and regional characteristics of the road network were evaluated. Data mining was carried out concerning key parameters such as bridge type

age

and traffic volume

and correlation analysis was conducted between these parameters and general technical scoring at network level. The proposed framework provided data basis and analysis conditions for network-level evaluation. Results indicate that the proposed data integration and mining methods can effectively reveal the common features and deterioration rules of regional bridges

and hence can be used for network-level assessment of regional bridges.
