Liam Dromey Supervisors: Kieran Ruane John Justin Murphy Brian O’Rourke __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract A Bridge Rehabilitation Strategy based on the Analysis of a Dataset of Bridge Inspections in Co. Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.

  • Cork County Plan Issues 2009
    Goleen & District Community Council initial submission to the Review of the Cork County Development Plan 2003 – Issues to be addressed in the Cork County Development Plan 2009. Contact: Michael Collins, Services Sub-Committee, Lowertown, West Cork 086 3174606 March 1st.2007 1. Introduction In many ways, Goleen Parish is an example of the way rural living should be. Tourism and Agriculture work side by side; Goleen, Toormore, Lowertown, Crookhaven and Dunbeacon are integrated communities; there are two schools and four churches, many societies and organizations; the community centre with sports hall and field is nearing completion - and yet, the parish is in danger of dying. Bit by bit the infrastructure is whittling away; the farmers are building in Cork all day or their wives are at work out of the parish. The fishing industry has been decimated and made more dangerous with quotas. The withdrawal of the salmon licence will put men out of work for the summer. They don’t have the resources to kit up for a new type of fishing. There is no parish priest – the priest is teaching in Schull. The doctor is transferring many of his clinics to Schull. Two thirds of the houses are second homes – not even let out these days as the affluent owners don’t need the money. The hotel has been built up with apartments instead of amenities. For six weeks in the summer helicopters fill the sky; powerboats and yachts ply the sea. All the houses are full and business owners try to make the majority of their annual income.
