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.

Written by two highly respected engineers, the first volume, Infrastructure Health in Civil Engineering: Theory and Components, integrates the decision making concept into theoretical and practical issues. It includes: An overview of the infrastructure health in civil engineering (IHCE) and associated theories In-depth description of the four components of SHCE: measurements, structural identification, damage identification, and decision making Discussion of how IHCE and asset management are applied An exploration of infrastructure health management Built to correspond to the ideas presented in its companion volume, Applications and Management, this is an invaluable guide to optimized, cost-saving methods that will help readers meet safety specifications for new projects, as well as aging infrastructures at high risk for failure.

The design, analysis, maintenance, operations, economics, and life cycle of civil infrastructure is very dependent upon climatic effects. Climate change can have immense effects on the performance and well-being of civil infrastructures, and this book examines how climate change can directly affect civil infrastructure, how different types of infrastructure are affected, and more importantly, how stakeholders can prepare for and counter such changes and approach decision-making in an optimal manner. It includes numerous case studies and examples that help illustrate the different points and methodologies presented.Presents a comprehensive road map on how to plan for and address climate change effects on civil infrastructure.Includes case studies and examples that help illustrate the different points and methodologies presented.Presents numerous theoretical and analytical tools to establish potential impacts.Examines the changes in demands, increased vulnerabilities (or capacity decrease), consequences, and potential links between all of those factors.

Climate change challenges are unlike any hazard that infrastructure and related shareholders have faced for millennia. These challenges, and the systems that are vulnerable to them, as well as the resulting consequences (social, economic, physical, natural, health, costs, etc.), are interrelated in countless ways and span regions, countries, oceans, and continents. The design, analysis, maintenance, operations, economics, and life cycle of civil infrastructure are dependent upon climatic effects, and this book addresses the intersections between climate change, infrastructures, and related decision paradigms, such as risk, resilience, preparedness, adaptation, or mitigation, from the viewpoint of climate change demands.Presents an objective categorization of climate change demands as related to civil infrastructure and society.Offers a comprehensive roadmap on how to plan for and address climate change effects on civil infrastructure.Includes numerous objective and practical case studies throughout to highlight important subjects.

Winner of the Inaugural Journal of Bridge Structures’ Book AwardContinually increasing demands on infrastructure 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 respected engineers, Infrastructure Health in Civil Engineering is presented in two corresponding volumes that integrate the decision making concept into theoretical and practical issues.The first volume, Theory and Components, includes: An overview of the infrastructure health in civil engineering (IHCE) and associated theories In-depth description of the four components of IHCE: measurements, structural identification, damage identification, and decision makingDiscussion of how IHCE and asset management are appliedExploration of analogies between structural and human healthThe second volume, Applications and Management, covers: State-of-the-art practices and future directionsUse of probability and statistics in areas including structural modelingSpecific practical applications, including retrofitting and rehabilitation in response to earthquake damage, corrosion, fatigue, and bridge securityUse 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 testingThis set comprises, perhaps for the first time, an invaluable integrated guide to the wide range of structural hazards—including scour, earthquakes, fatigue, corrosion, and damage to pre-stressed systems. It then lays out the 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.

This book explains and presents the need for Multihazard Consideration (MH) in the management of civil infrastructure, what constitutes MH, and how to address MH in design and analysis. A generalized theory of MH will serve as the basis of the objective treatment of this volume. Use of MH in bridge management (inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement) will serve as the basis for several examples, and numerous case studies will be presented throughout.

This book presents several original theories for risk, including Theory of Risk Monitoring, and Theory of Risk Acceptance, in addition to several analytical models for computing relative and absolute risk. The book discusses risk limit, states of risk, and the emerging concept of risk monitoring. The interrelationships between risk and resilience are also highlighted in an objective manner. The book includes several practical case studies showing how risk management and its components can be used to enhance performance of infrastructures at reasonable costs.
