Increases in computer power have now enabled engineers to
combine materials science with structural mechanics in the design
and the assessment of concrete structures. The techniques developed
have become especially useful for the performance assessment of
such structures under coupled mechanistic and environmental
actions. This allows effective management of infrastructure over a
much longer life cycle, thus satisfying the requirements for
durability and sustainability.
This ground-breaking new book draws on the fields of materials
and structural mechanics in an integrated way to address the
questions of management and maintenance. It proposes a realistic
way of simulating both constituent materials and structural
responses under external loading and under ambient conditions.
Where the research literature discusses component or element
technology related to performance assessment, this book uniquely
covers the subject at the level of the whole system including soil
foundation, showing engineers how to model changes in concrete
structures over time and how to use this for decision making in
infrastructure maintenance and asset management.
