Algunas instituciones utilizan criterios diversos para asignar una calificación a la evaluación de una estructura y esto genera que se obtengan resultados diferentes al priorizar intervenciones. La priorización de los proyectos de infraestructura vial es clave para invertir los recursos de la forma más eficiente posible. En este contexto, este artículo presenta una propuesta que busca estandarizar un índice de la condición de la salud estructural de un puente, que permita priorizar y asignar recursos de forma objetiva. Para este índice se utiliza la evaluación de la condición estructural de elementos críticos, así como matrices de riesgo relacionadas con amenazas sísmicas e hidrometeorológicas. Como resultado, el diseño de este índice involucra el análisis de una gran cantidad de variables mediante criterios técnicos y estadísticos.]]></p></abstract>
