Martinus Nijhoffbrug (object state)

A condition of an object at a particular time, reflecting the object's ability to fulfil it's requirements.

:

Object state

Summary

:

The state of the structure (focusing on the joint) was that the joint was supposed to be replaced. The monitoring system was installed to postpone replacement of the joint by one year and to reduce the risks related to failure (sliding) of the supports of the separation beams in the expansion joint. The result of failure of the joint during service is related to traffic safety (not to structural safety)
