In comparison with the well‐researched field of analysis and design of structural systems,
the life‐cycle performance prediction of these systems under no maintenance as well as …

The development of a generalised framework for assessing bridge life-cycle performance
and cost, with emphasis on analysis, prediction, optimisation and decision-making under …

Our knowledge to model, analyse, design, maintain, monitor, manage, predict and optimise
the life-cycle performance of structures and infrastructures under uncertainty is continually …

Purpose–It has been found that the cost for housing maintenance is relatively high due to
poor maintenance practices. This paper aims to determine and identify the factors …

Authors have attempted to create coherent chapters and sections on how the fundamentals
of maintenance cost should be organized, to present them in a logical and sequential order …

After an enormous investment in construction of highway networks undertaken in the second
half of the 20th century, the highway networks of most European and North American …

Engineering systems typically deteriorate due to regular use and exposure to harsh
environment. Under such circumstances the owner of a system must take important …

During the past two decades, it has been generally acknowledged that life-cycle bridge
analysis can be a systematic tool to address efficient and effective bridge management …

Modern maintenance strategies for deteriorating structures are typically based on
minimizing total cost. Extensions of this concept into the nondeterministic range allow to take …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify, assess, rank, and compare the most
