TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempted to shed some light on the past, present, and future of life-cycle management of highway bridges, and concluded that additional research is required to develop better life cycle models and tools to quantify the risks, costs, and benefits associated with highway bridges as well as their interrelationships in highway networks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reliability-based methodology to identify and rank important structural members in structural systems under different material behaviors and for different stiffness sharing factors is presented, which can be used to develop a rational methodology for prediction of critical members.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for optimal network-level bridge maintenance planning based on minimum expected cost is presented, where the goal is to minimize the expected maintenance cost of a bridge stock with maintenance of the lifetime reliability of each bridge above an acceptable (target) level.

TL;DR: Results have shown that slag aggregate has better abrasion factor and impact value than conventional aggregate, and could work as accelerator at early age while at 28 days age, the effect is reduced.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to assess the traffic regulations knowledge and awareness of university and high school students in Al-Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia, where a survey was designed and distributed to students at King Faisal University and selected high schools in the region.
