Life cycle profiles(LCP) of bridge structures are indispensable for the life cycle cost(LCC) evaluations of bridge system. The bridge under considerations may be newly-designed one or one in service. Thus, a systematic study of LCP is essential for both reliable LCC evaluation and strategic bridge management. LCP is mainly influenced by the structural environment in nature. In this study, LCP along with a subset of the BMS data was investigated and several mathematical expressions were proposed and evaluated. From the
numerical results, it is concluded that the mathematical LCP model of □□□□ is shown to be the fittest one (R=0.815) to express the condition rating varied with the age.
