Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems

This bookcontains papers covering a wide range of studies on life-cycle performance analysis design maintenance monitoring management and cost of civil infrastructure systems. Topics include reliability and optimization as design basis tools monitoring systems life-cycle cost analysis and management bridge management systems and quality control acceptance criteria. The book also discusses seismic reliability analysis of deteriorating structures bridge inspection strategies life-cycle cost analysis of structures on a network level optimal risk-based design of infrastructures updating bridge reliability using load monitoring data and statistics of extremes rehabilitation of bridges and lifetime analysis and structural repair of civil infrastructure systems.
