Deterioration models capable of predicting the distribution of future condition states of bridge elements are essential components of a bridge management system. Asset management systems developed in USA employs deterioration models based on the discrete-time Markov chain. This paper presents a method to use continuous-time Markov chains for concrete bridge management. Use of the maximum likelihood method (ML) to estimate deterioration parameters and corrosion initiation time is demonstrated in this paper. The model is probability based that is essential to incorporate the uncertainties involved. The application of this methodology is illustrated through an example based on real-life bridge data. The distribution of future condition states ...
