The subject of the presented investigation was the application of an integrated LCM Model (Life Cycle Management) developed by FCP in close collaboration with ÖBB for the entire bridge network from the Austrian Federal Railways analysing different maintenance strategies.

Concent. The objective of the investigation was a short-, mid- and long-term LCM prognosis of the heavy maintenance and replacement demand for the entire bridge network of the Federal Austrian Railways. The model was applied to a provided dataset of approx. 10.000 bridges analysing different forecast periods (12, 50 and 120 years).

The results were used to derive the upcoming budget demand.
