and cost, with emphasis on analysis, prediction, optimisation and decision-making under …

Bridges are a critical piece of infrastructure in the network of road and rail transport system.
Many of the bridges in Norway (in Europe) are at the end of their lifespan, therefore regular …

The condition assessment of civil engineering concrete-made structures has been a
prevalent research area over the last thirty years as a result of concrete deterioration …

The condition of bridges is critical for the safety of the traveling public. Bridges deteriorate
with time as a result of material aging, excessive loading, environmental effects, and …

Two different nondestructive test (NDT) methods, air-coupled impact-echo (IE) and infrared
(IR) thermography are evaluated on a full-scale simulated reinforced concrete bridge deck …

One quarter of bridges in Canada and the United States need repair. The present study
provides a critical overview of the state-of-the-art existing condition assessment techniques …

Buildings, bridges, roads, and other structures need to be regularly maintained if they are to
last. In general, if a defect is detected early, the cost of its remediation is typically much lower …

The optimal decisions to maintain or improve the reliability and functionality of structures and
infrastructure systems can only be achieved through proper integrated management …
