Abstract:As an important transportation infrastructure, the safety of bridges directly affects the smoothness of transportation and the safety of public life and property. With the increasing service life and the gradual aging of structures, the safety of bridges is facing increasingly severe challenges. Therefore, it is particularly important to scientifically and effectively assess the safety risks during the operation period of bridges, promptly identify the potential problems, and take the appropriate management measures. In order to achieve this goal, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to comprehensively evaluate the safety risks during the operation period of bridges, identify and analyze the main influencing factors. Through the analysis and research of actual engineering cases, the applicability and scientificity of the risk assessment system and risk assessment model during the bridge operation period in practical engineering applications are verified, providing scientific decision-making basis for bridge operation management.
