Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems

Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems contains the keynote lectures and papers presented at the Fifth International Workshop on Life-Cycle Cost Analysis and Design of Civil Infrastructure Systems, organized by the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS), held in Seoul, Korea, October 16-18, 2006. The papers cover a wide range of studies on life-cycle performance analysis, design, maintenance, monitoring, management, and cost of civil infrastructure systems. Topics covered include: reliability and optimization as design basis tools, monitoring systems, life-cycle cost analysis and management, bridge management systems, quality control acceptance criteria, 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. This book serves as a valuable source of information for researchers, design and maintenance engineers, project managers, and all concerned with condition, reliability, life-cycle performance and cost of new and existing civil infrastructure systems.Kong, Jung Sik is the author of 'Life-Cycle Cost and Performance of Civil Infrastructure Systems', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415413565 and ISBN 0415413567.
