Abstract
Life-cycle cost analysis is a tool created to evaluate different alternatives for a project using initial and long-term costs. Short-span bridges (less than 130 feet) represent 57% of the NBI Indiana bridge inventory. We will present analyses for short-span bridges in Indiana based on LCCA for different span ranges. The results will help designers consider the most cost-effective bridge solution for new and existing projects, resulting in cost savings for agencies.
