  In the responsible management of any construction project or asset,life-cycle considerations must be to the fore.This is now widely recognised,even if this has,to a large extent,regrettably not yet translated into consistent practice.A great deal has been written to assist engineers and owners in the assessment of lifecycle issues,and the field of bridges is no exception.
