ASSESMENT KONDISI JEMBATAN RANGKA BAJA CALLENDER HAMILTON DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE BRIDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The Callender Hamilton (CH) bridge type is one of the oldest bridges that are still widely used to connect city roads, especially in Aceh, where the volume of vehicles that grows up every year is an alert for the public. Accordingly, a bridge management system is essential to handling and planning an assessment condition value of the bridge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and determine the proper management of the CH bridge in North Aceh and East Aceh by using the Bridge Management System (BMS) method. This research was conducted on 4 bridges, namely Krueng Pase Geudong, Alue Asam Kumbang, Krueng Peudawa Rayeuk, and Krueng Sei Raya. Firstly, the results obtained on the condition value of the Krueng Pase Geudong, built-in 1995, is 3 (high damaged) which proposed rehabilitation treatment and its equivalent age is 42 years.  The result is poor because the equivalent age of the bridge was higher than the age of the bridge. Secondly, on the Alue Asam Kumbang, built-in 1977, the value of the condition obtained is 3 (high damaged) which proposed rehabilitation treatment and the equivalent age is 42 years. This proves that the maintenance was quite good because the equivalent age of the bridge was smaller than the age of the bridge. Thirdly, on the Krueng Peudawa Rayeuk, built-in 1979, the value of the condition obtained was 2 (low damage) which proposed handling of routine/periodic maintenance, and the equivalent age is 32 years. This proves that the maintenance was quite good because the equivalent age of the bridge was smaller than the age of the bridge. The last one is the Krueng Sei Raya that the condition value built-in 1994 was 2 (low damage) which proposed routine/ periodic maintenance and the equivalent age is 32 years, this proves that the maintenance was poor since the equivalent age of the bridge is higher than the age of the bridge.
