Beal, Production Editor; Jennifer Correro, Proofreader and Layout; Mary McLaughlin, Proofreader Preface he 10th International Bridge and Structure Management Conference was held on October 20–22, T 2008, in Buffalo, New York. This conference was conducted by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Bridge Management Committee (AHD35) and the Structures Maintenance Committee (AHD30) in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, New York State Department of Transportation, New York State Thruway Authority, New York State Bridge Authority, Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research, and University at Buffalo: The State University of New York. The 9th conference was held in Orlando, Florida, in 2003. Presentations from the 9th Conference were published in Transportation Research E-Circular 049: 9th International Bridge Management Conference in April 2003. The 10th conference included papers and presentations on future directions and challenges in structures management; design and implementation of bridge management systems; application of bridge management in transportation agencies; bridge preservation, maintenance, and deterioration rates; application of prioritization and optimization routines; structural performance, monitoring, and remaining life; bridge modeling and National Bridge Inventory translator; structure vulnerability and weigh-in-motion; bridge inspection; local, frequency, and thermal imaging; bridge decks and stay cable; and accelerated construction, fiber- reinforced polymers, and corrosion evaluation. The conference was developed to aid bridge practitioners, managers, and researchers in taking advantage of the characteristics of existing systems from around the world, and identifying new and anticipated enhancements. The papers were not subjected to the TRB peer review process. iii Contents APPLICATION OF BRIDGE MANAGEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES The German Approach to Bridge Management: Current Status and Future Development (IBSMC08-008).........................................................3 Peter Haardt and Ralph Holst Progress Report on Oregon’s Efforts to Integrate Its State Transportation Improvement Program Project-Selection Process with Pontis (IBSMC08-009) ....................16 Dawn Mach and Bert Hartman Use of Bridge Management for Agency Decisions in Planning, Programming, and Performance Tracking (IBSMC08-022) .....................................................................................29 Michael J.
