Sustainability presents a broad range of complex and inter-related challenges to all those involved with bridges: as owners, designers, contractors, maintainers and users. This paper seeks to identify the attributes of a sustainable approach to bridges. The fundamental component aspects of sustainability that relate to bridges will be identified and discussed, under the headings of environment, society and economics. The life-cycle of a bridge is then examined, with the purpose of identifying how and when the competing priorities of these ‘aspects’ can be brought together to give integrated and comprehensive solutions. Aspects of some sustainability tools that are available to assist bridge engineers are then presented. |
