Abstract EN
Bridge condition assessment is a complex problem influenced by many factors.
The uncertain environment increases more its complexity.
Due to the uncertainty in the process of assessment, one of the key problems is the representation of assessment results.
Though there exists many methods that can deal with uncertain information, however, they have more or less deficiencies.
In this paper, a new representation of uncertain information, called D numbers, is presented.
It extends the Dempster-Shafer theory.
By using D numbers, a new method is developed for the bridge condition assessment.
Compared to these existing methods, the proposed method is simpler and more effective.
An illustrative case is given to show the effectiveness of the new method.
