Notes:
This paper proposes a life-cycle cost (LCC) management methodology that integratescorrosion deterioration and fatigue damage mechanisms. This LCC management methodology hasfour characterized features: (1) corrosion deterioration and fatigue damage models are used topredict the time when the pre-defined limits are reached; (2) the performance of the steel girder ismeasured by condition state sets in which deflection, moment and shear capacities and fatiguestrength limits are considered altogether; (3) the cost-effectiveness of management strategies aremeasured by the performance improvement per unit of money spent; and (4) the LCC modelincludes initial design/construction cost, inspection cost, maintenance cost, repair/rehabilitation costand failure cost. A steel girder bridge is used as an example to demonstrate the application of theproposed LCC management methodology
