CRC Press Moving Toward Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Bridges: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management ... Orlando, Florida, USA, July 6 -10, 2026

Moving Toward Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Bridges collects the keynote lectures and technical papers presented at the 13th International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2026, Orlando, Florida, USA, 6–10 July 2026). This open access book contains 418 contributions, including the Man-Chung Tang Lecture, the T.Y. Lin Lecture, 7 Keynote Lectures, and 409 papers from 42 countries. These contributions bring together the most recent advances in bridge engineering, uniting academic research and engineering practice around the theme of Moving Toward Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Bridges to solve new and old problems with innovative solutions. The contributions are organized into keynote lectures, mini-symposia (MS), special sessions (SS), and general sessions (GS), and cover the full breadth of bridge-related topics. Major topics include advanced bridge design, construction and maintenance, safety, reliability and risk evaluation, life-cycle management, resilience and sustainability, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and field testing, durability enhancement, repair and rehabilitation, fatigue and corrosion, extreme loads and multi-hazard performance, standardization and bridge management systems, service life prediction, financial planning and whole-life costing, and the growing role of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and robotics in the management of existing and future bridge stocks, among others. Moving Toward Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Bridges provides an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and contributes significantly to more rational decision-making on bridge safety, maintenance, management, life-cycle, resilience, whole-life costing and sustainability in order to enhance the welfare of society. The editors expect that this book will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with bridge structures and infrastructure systems, including engineers, researchers, academics, owners, operators, and students from all areas of bridge engineering.
