The Marketing Goal
To be generally right
(While often being specifically wrong)

Bridges are Important to Us
They even directly support education!

But Bridges Don’t Last Forever

Data Source
The National Bridge InventoryDecember 2000
Prepared according to a Standard Recording and Coding Guide that covers over 115 items
“By having a complete and thorough inventory, an accurate report can be made to Congress” and it provides the data necessary to “produce Defense Bridge and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports.”

Limitations of our NBI Analysis
A continuation of past practices was assumed to continue into the futureIn view of the scope of the sample factors such as location, uniformity of rating were assumed to hold true over the period studied
![Page 15: A Marketing Approach to Bridge Longevity All about being specifically wrong … while being generally right Presented by: Heinrich O. Bonstedt Executive.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697c0021a28abf838cc2d31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Constraints Applied to Data
Constructed or reconstructed after 1950No railroad bridges or buildings and plazasNo CulvertsDistance between back-walls of abutments >20 feetConsider only structural deficiencies from Appraisal Ratings (2 or less) Condition Ratings (4 or less)
Deck Super-structure Sub-structure

Elimination of Coding Errors
Blank or improperly coded records in the following fields were discarded: Inventory route Type of service Structure length Bridge width Year built and/or reconstructed Structure use Materials used Condition rating

Plotting Limitation
When plotting ratios (deficiency rates), those based on fewer than 275 units per year were omitted from plotting – but not from later computations.

Trend Evaluation
Statistical analysis of deficiencies on the identified roads systems indicates a parabolic trend, following the general algorithm:
Y = a + bx + cx2 where,
Y = the percentage of bridges rated deficientx = the number of years since the bridge was constructed and/or reconstructed
![Page 34: A Marketing Approach to Bridge Longevity All about being specifically wrong … while being generally right Presented by: Heinrich O. Bonstedt Executive.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697c0021a28abf838cc2d31/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Conclusions
While engineering standards and specifications aim to create solutions of equal performance across all materials, actual results indicate that concrete bridges outperform their competitive materials
![Page 35: A Marketing Approach to Bridge Longevity All about being specifically wrong … while being generally right Presented by: Heinrich O. Bonstedt Executive.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697c0021a28abf838cc2d31/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Conclusions - continued
The most reliable, simply because there is more data, would be a projection for all road systems combined:Bridge Type Central
Estimate
Prestressed Concrete 73
Reinforced Concrete 72
Structural Steel 58
Timber 50

Conclusions - continued
To account for these differences in service life expectancy, “first costs” of a bridge would have to factored by the following to reflect performance parity: Prestressed Concrete 1.00 Reinforced Concrete 1.01 Structural Steel 1.26 Timber 1.44
