چکیده :
This study proposes a new robust multi-objective maintenance planning approach of the deteriorating
bridges against uncertainty in performance degradation model. The main focus is to guarantee the performance
requirements of the bridge by the scheduled maintenance interventions even in the presence of
uncertainty in time-dependent performance degradation model. The uncertainties are modeled as the
perturbation of the system parameters. These are simulated by a sampling method, and incorporated into
the GA-based multi-objective optimization framework which produces a set of optimal preventive maintenance
scenarios. In order to focus the searching on the most preferable region, the performance models
of the bridge components are all integrated into single overall performance measure by using the preference-
based objective-space reduction method. Numerical example of a typical prestressed concrete girder
bridge is provided to demonstrate the new robust maintenance scheduling approach. For comparison
purpose, non-robust multi-objective maintenance planning without considering uncertainty of the
bridge performance is also provided. It is verified that the proposed approach can produce successfully-
performing maintenance scenarios under the perturbation of bridge condition grades while maintaining
well-balanced maintenance strategy both in terms of bridge performance and maintenance cost.
