Continually increasing demands on infrastructures mean that
maintenance and renewal require timely, appropriate action that
maximizes benefits while minimizing cost. To be as well informed as
possible, decision-makers must have an optimal understanding of an
infrastructure s condition what it is now, and what it is expected
to be in the future.
Written by two highly respected engineers, the second volume,
Infrastructure Health in Civil Engineering: Applications and
Management, integrates the decision making concept into theoretical
and practical issues.
It covers:
- State-of-the-art practice and future directions
- Use of probability and statistics in areas including structural
modeling
- Specific practical applications, including retrofitting and
rehabilitation in response to earthquake damage, corrosion,
fatigue, and bridge security
- Use of IHCE for management and maintenance of different types
of structures using pre-stressed and reinforced concrete, and
fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs)
- Numerous practical case studies, as well as coverage of the
latest techniques in the use of sensors for damage detection and
load testing
Built to correspond to the ideas presented in its companion
volume, Theory and Components, this is an invaluable guide to
optimized, cost-saving methods that will help readers meet safety
specifications for new projects, as well as the aging
infrastructure at great risk of failure.
