This article presents a novel system reliability-based framework for multi-objective optimisation of preventive maintenance (PM) management in-service asphalt pavement. To accurately predict the international roughness index (IRI) sequence pavement sections, long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network that considers spatiotemporal correlations between IRI sequences is trained with data retrieved from long-term performance (LTPP) program. Based on time-dependent limit-state functions (LSFs)...

The vehicle distribution scenarios on the bridge deck of long-span cable-stayed bridges leading to extreme responses are critical for ensuring structural safety. Meanwhile, increase span length significantly impacts performance under traffic actions. However, most load models in existing codes predominantly developed small and medium-span bridges. Recently site-specific flow often ignore characteristics response scenarios. This study examines five in-service covering a range lengths from 200...
