The second edition of this bestselling handbook covers virtually all the information an
engineer would need to know about any type of bridge-from planning to construction to …

Probabilistic life-cycle consequence (LCCon) analysis (eg, assessment of repair costs,
downtime, or casualties over an asset's service life) can enable optimal life-cycle …

Optimizing inspection and maintenance (I&M) plans for a large deteriorating structure is a
computationally challenging task, in particular if one considers interdependences among its …

The deterioration and cracking of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges due to the chloride-
induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is an inherently time-dependent stochastic …

This paper reviews the fatigue failure mechanisms for the automobile crankshaft under
service loading through the stochastic point of view. Fatigue failure of crankshafts are …

A novel method is proposed to rank bridges for maintenance priorities based on the risk
posed by structural deterioration. The proposed method integrates structural reliability …

The signs of deterioration in worldwide infrastructure and the associated socio-economic
and environmental losses call for sustainable resource management and policy-making. To …

For the life-cycle analysis (LCA) of deteriorating engineering systems, it is critical to model
and incorporate the various deterioration processes and associated uncertainties. This …

As significant uncertainties are associated with the factors governing the operational
characteristics of bridges following earthquakes, it is important to compute the reliability of …

Transportation networks are critical components of lifeline systems. They can experience
disruptions due to seismic hazards that could lead to severe emergency response and …
