Our knowledge to model, design, analyse, maintain, manage and
predict the life-cycle performance of infrastructure systems is
continually growing. However, the complexity of these systems
continues to increase and an integrated approach is necessary to
understand the effect of technological, environmental, economic,
social, and political interactions on the life-cycle performance of
engineering infrastructure. In order to accomplish this, methods
have to be developed to systematically analyse structure and
infrastructure systems, and models have to be formulated for
evaluating and comparing the risks and benefits associated with
various alternatives. Civil engineers must maximize the life-cycle
benefits of these systems to serve the needs of our society by
selecting the best balance of the safety, economy, resilience and
sustainability requirements despite imperfect information and
knowledge. Within the context of this book, the necessary concepts
are introduced and illustrated with applications to civil and
marine structures. This book is intended for an audience of
researchers and practitioners world-wide with a background in civil
and marine engineering, as well as people working in infrastructure
maintenance, management, cost and optimization analysis. The
chapters originally published as articles in Structure and
Infrastructure Engineering.
