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.

  • 364 Historical and Topographical Notes
    •- 364 HISTORICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 1669, Castle Lombard in Buttevant with two acres behind the castle, called the gardens, Lombard's orchard one acre, Gortinespunk, two acres, etc. (''Indices to Certificates to Adventures," etc., I. 27 P.R.O. Irld.). James Lombard of Castle Lombard was made a J.P. for Co. Cork, 14th December, 1731. "Journal for 1897, P* 63. Richard R. Brash describes the castle in 1852 as follows :'—'Lombard's Castle. The building; described as Lombard's Castle by Smith and various tourists and writers, is situated at the west side of the main street, near the market place; it appears to me to have been more the substantial mansion of some wealthy burgher than a purely defensive structure. Its principal remaining features are a square tower of small dimensions and inconsiderable height that juts into the street, and a portion of the front wall containing remains of square-headed mullioned windows and pointed doors. The masonry of the remaining portions of the building is of excellent character; it is said to have been built by a Galway man who found a treasure in it." The Lombard family were formerly of considerable importance in this part of the country; the tomb of Nicholas Lombard is in the chancel of Buttevant Abbey. Lodge states, that Gregory Lombard, gent, had the wardship of David, Viscount Buttevant, who was created first Earl of Barrymore. (R.S.A.I. 1852, 96). Lewis (pub. 1837) gives :—"Nearly in the centre of the town (Buttevant) are the remains of Lombard's Castle, a square quadrangular building flanked at each angle by a square tower, one of which is nearly in a perfect state, and, with a portion of the castle, has been converted into a dwelling house." (1.236).
