Abstract

Planning to replace wooden sleepers with synthetic sleepers on bridge BH 534 must be done because using wooden sleepers on this bridge is less efficient. The inefficient use of sleepers on the BH 534 bridges is because the sleepers on this bridge still use the type of wood sleeper where the nature of the wood is not resistant to weather changes, so it is easily weathered and needs to be replaced. Therefore it is necessary to plan the replacement of wooden sleepers with synthetic sleepers where the properties of synthetic sleepers are resistant to weather changes and have a longer service life. This study aims to plan the replacement of wooden sleepers with synthetic sleepers on bridges BH 534 by considering several things. The results showed that synthetic sleepers obtained a safety factor value (SF) of 6.36, which met the safety requirements. The calculation of the cost budget plan indicates that for 50 years of use, synthetic sleepers need a smaller budget than wooden sleepers. The assessment using the AHP method showed that synthetic sleepers were preferred. It can be concluded that replacing wooden sleepers with synthetic sleepers on bridges BH 534 is recommended.
