Many transportation departments have significant practical experience with bridge preservation and have developed conclusions regarding the effectiveness of bridge preservation actions based on those experiences. However, limited efforts have been made to identify, measure, evaluate, and document the short- and long-term performance of specific bridge preservation actions. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 950: Proposed AASHTO Guides for Bridge Preservation Actions presents the development of two AASHTO guides for bridge preservation, including a general guide to preservation of highway bridges and a guide to preservation of highway bridge decks. Supplementary to the report is Appendix B: Summaries of Information from State DOTs.

Everything you need to know to save an old historic, truss-style bridge. The chapters are full of practical things: Sometimes this advice is offered in essay form. More often it is presented as to-do lists. In fact, the book begins with a comprehensive checklist of everything you need to know before you get started on saving a bridge. It's all here. There are even job descriptions for volunteers and interview questions for professionals who will need to be brought into the process. Useful case studies abound. An appendix of truss-bridge types gives prospective bridge-savers a useful starting point, and forty-one photographs give them a vision of the goal.

Developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Committee on Bridges and Structures, this Guide is intended to offer guidance on selecting specific, cost-effective preservation and maintenance actions and treatments for agencies wishing to extend service life and estimate needed budgets to optimize performance of bridge inventories. It can be used to help preserve bridges and extend their service life by selecting cost-effective actions and treatments for various bridge elements based on exposure. Specifically, the Guide identifies candidates for bridge preservation; lists actions in bridge preservation; lists costs of actions and time intervals for use of actions; and presents a method of Preservation-Cycle Cost Analysis for cost evaluation of preservation actions, used to compute monetized benefits of preservation.
