This proceedings of the 13th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management covers a range of topics that are timely, relevant and practically important in the modern digital era towards safer, cost effective, efficient, and secure engineered assets such as production and manufacturing plants, process facilities, civil structures, equipment, machinery, and infrastructure. It has compiled some pioneering work by domain experts of the global Engineering Asset Management community representing both public and private sectors. The professional coverage of the book includes:Asset management in Industry 4.0;Standards and models;Sustainable assets and processes;Life cycle perspectives;Smart and safer assets;Applied data science;Workplace safety;Asset health;Advances in equipment condition monitoring;Critical asset processes; andInnovation strategy and entrepreneurshipThe breadth and depth of these state-of-the-art, comprehensive proceedings make them an excellent resource for asset management practitioners, researchers and academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.

'Materials Engineering' delves into strengthening reinforced concrete members and dynamic properties of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers. 'Building Materials and Concrete Structures' cover topics like minibar reinforced concrete, impact response of reinforced columns, and residual strength of cement-based composites.

This book highlights innovative solutions together withvarious techniques and methods that can help support the manufacturing sectorto excel in economic, social, and environmental terms in networked businessenvironments. The book also furthers understanding of sustainable manufacturingfrom the perspective of value creation in manufacturing networks, bycapitalizing on the outcomes of the European ‘Sustainable Value Creation inManufacturing Networks’ project. New dynamics and uncertainties in modernmarkets call for innovative solutions in the global manufacturing sector. Whilethe manufacturing sector is traditionally driven by technology, it alsorequires other managerial and organizational solutions in terms of networkgovernance, business models, sustainable solution development for products andservices, performance management portals, etc., which can provide majorcompetitive advantages for companies. At the same time, the manufacturingindustry is subject to a change process, where business networks play a majorrole in value-creating processes. By far the biggest challenge in this contextis making value creation a sustainable process where economic, social, andenvironmental demands are met. Managing product and service-related businessoperations in manufacturing networks thus brings different challenges thatcannot purely be resolved using traditional methods, and techniques. This book is an outcome of a European project funded by theEuropean Commission, and performed by a dedicated R&D consortium comprisedof some leading Research institutions and Industrial partners.
