Abstract
Bridges are one of the most expensive elements of the road network, and therefore in the bridge management process, it is very important to make the most technically efficient and cost-effective decisions about planned actions such as maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction works. Decisions have to be based both on the current situation and possible future options and alternatives.
The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) during the action TU 1406 "Quality specifications for roadway bridges, standardization at a European level (BridgeSpecs)" in the period from 2014 to 2019 has developed the framework for the development of bridge Quality Control Plans (QCP) including the system of data collection, data processing and outcomes.
This article analyses and compares different Quality Control Plans developed according to COST TU 1406 methodology for the existing bridge over the river Maza Jugla, located on regional road P10 at km 34.80 in Latvia.
