Abstract
According to the American Road and Transportation Builder Association, approximately 47,000 or 9.1\% of bridges are structurally deficient. About 235,000 bridges or 38\% of the bridges require immediate maintenance. Bridge engineers are constantly looking for methods to extract insight from the bridge inspections records to plan bridge maintenance efficiently. Previous researchers have developed machine learning models that have identified influential factors for bridge maintenance. Despite the current understanding of significant factors that drive bridge maintenance, interactions between these influential factors that explain maintenance patterns remain incomplete. In this research study, we developed a method that adopts a decision tree model to generate a decision tree and apply associated rule mining to identify influential patterns that contribute to bridge maintenance.
