Book excerpt: With over 600,000 bridges across the United States averaging 42 years of age, annual Federal repair and rehabilitation costs for fiscal year 2010 were in the region of 7 billion dollars. Following significant public sector investment developing nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) tools for objective condition assessment, a recent workshop supported by the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program addressed the use of NDE as an effective and efficient bridge maintenance and asset management tool.
