Disturbance indicator benchmark for urban bridge construction
conference paper
European bridges are today in a state of particular concern with over 50% of European urban bridges being more than 40 years old and thus requiring considerable maintenance or possibly even replacement [1]. This means that interventions in the present infrastructure have to be made while ensuring that mobility continues in a safe and consistent manner. Also the (re-)construction of the bridge has to be completed in a sustainable manner with minimum disturbance to the users and local residents. In order to meet the demand for disturbance friendly construction alternatives, a European benchmark of civil engineering projects was created. Ultimately the solution is the use of a Multi Criteria Decision Model (MCDM) linked with the results of the benchmarking assessment in order to weight the selection criteria for the most advantageous construction alternative possible.
