Furthermore, an optimal maintenance strategy which can determine the optimal scheme of repair considering expected life-cycle cost is proposed for bridges in Fukui prefecture. The strategy is developed by using the Markovian transition probability model and two stage optimization technique. The usefulness and effectiveness of the strategy are demonstrated in the numerical example.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {Optimal Bridge Maintenances Strategy Determined by the Markov Process and Two Stage Optimization Technique}, volume = {5}, year = {2009} }
