Developing Implementation Strategies for Risk Based Inspection (RBI)

The objectives of this research are as follows: (1) Study the implementation of risk-based inspection (RBI) processes within State DOT programs (a) Develop a paradigm for conducting risk-based inspection analysis through training and workshops with participating states. (b) Develop a handbook for implementation of RBI describing key processes, key attributes and scoring methodologies for implementation (c) Develop strategies for using data-driven risk analysis within the RBI framework (d) Develop methodologies for supporting preservation activities within an RBI framework (2) Study the implementation of technologies to support RBI: (a) Reliability of inspection technologies and implementation of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) to support RBI. The research envisions developing a handbook for implementation of RBI practices that will provide a resource to participating states, presenting examples and case studies that define suitable attributes and characteristic for RBI. Workshops and training will be provided to participating states to assist with implementation of RBI, and tools will be developed to assist with future implementation of the RBI technology. Analysis of the bridge inventory to evaluate risk-based strategies will provide data for better asset management.
