Life-Cycle Design, Assessment, and Maintenance of Structures and
Infrastructure Systems is a state-of-the-art comprehensive report
outlining the current status and research needs in life-cycle of
civil structure and infrastructure systems. The book examines:
physical, chemical, and mechanical processes involved in the
degradation mechanisms of concrete and steel structures located in
severe environments; methods and strategies for life-cycle design
and assessment of deteriorating structural systems under
uncertainty; life-cycle management concepts for structures and
infrastructure networks under uncertainty and the application of
such concepts in management process; and principles and
implications associated with the scheduling and application of
maintenance policies for deteriorating structures and
infrastructure networks. This book serves as a valuable resource to
engineers, managers, and government agencies concerned with
life-cycle design and maintenance of civil structures and
infrastructure systems. Prepared on behalf of the Task Group 1 on
Life-Cycle Performance of Structural Systems Under Uncertainty of
the Technical Council on Life-Cycle Performance, Safety,
Reliability and Risk of Structural Systems of the Structural
Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Structural engineering is facing a profound change toward a
life-cycle oriented design philosophy in order to address the
continuously increasing societal, political, economic, and
environmental demand for sustainable structural and infrastructural
facilities that minimize risks arising from aging, deterioration,
and natural and human-made hazards. Life-Cycle Design, Assessment,
and Maintenance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems is a
state-of-the-art comprehensive report outlining the current status
and research needs in life-cycle of civil structure and
infrastructure systems. This book examines: Physical, chemical, and
mechanical processes involved in the degradation mechanisms of
concrete and steel structures located in severe environments;
Methods and strategies for life-cycle design and assessment of
deteriorating structural systems under uncertainty; Life-cycle
management concepts for structures and infrastructure networks
under uncertainty and the application of such concepts in
management process; and Principles and implications associated with
the scheduling and application of maintenance policies for
deteriorating structures and infrastructure networks. This book
serves as a valuable resource to engineers, managers, and
government agencies concerned with life-cycle design and
maintenance of civil structures and infrastructure systems.
