The main objective of "Rules..." was to standardize the method of point rating assessment of technical condition and usability, and in the second edition, to take into account the latest construction and material solutions. Because the results of inspections are analyzed and compared not only at the regional but also at the national level, it is very important for all inspectors in the country to evaluate the technical condition and usability in an analogous manner. While developing the 2nd edition, the authors maintained the assumptions of continuity of inspection system, including adaptation to the inspection manuals, algorithms, and software supporting the management of bridges.}, type={Article}, title={Rules for Using the Point Rating Scales in Inspections of Road Bridges}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115143/PDF/Paper_790_do%20druku.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2020.131813}, keywords={road bridges, inspections, technical condition assessment, assessment of usability}, }
