Bridging the Unknown: Finding Strength in Risk
Life is a tapestry woven with threads of uncertainty. From the moment we take our first breath, we're navigating a world brimming with possibilities, both exhilarating and daunting. This journey often leads us to stand at the precipice of the unknown, where fear and doubt threaten to paralyze our aspirations. But what if this very unknown is not something to fear, but a fertile ground for growth and discovery? This book delves into the transformative power of embracing risk. It unveils the hidden strength that resides within us, waiting to be unleashed when we step outside our comfort zones and face the unknown head-on. Through insightful anecdotes, practical strategies, and thought-provoking reflections, it empowers you to reframe your perspective on risk, recognizing it not as a threat, but as an opportunity for personal and professional evolution. The book explores the psychology of risk aversion, offering tools to overcome limiting beliefs and cultivate a mindset that embraces challenges as stepping stones to success. You'll learn to identify and manage your fears, harnessing their power to propel you forward rather than holding you back. With each step you take into the unknown, you'll gain invaluable lessons, forge unbreakable bonds, and unlock a depth of resilience you never knew you possessed. This journey will equip you with the tools to navigate life's uncertainties with courage, clarity, and an unyielding belief in your own potential.
Risk-Based Bridge Engineering
Risk-based engineering is essential for the efficient asset management and safe operation of bridges. A risk-based asset management strategy couples risk management, standard work, reliability-based inspection and structural analysis, and condition-based maintenance to properly apply resources based on process criticality. This ensures that proper controls are put in place and reliability analysis is used to ensure continuous improvement. An effective risk-based management system includes an enterprise asset management or resource solution that properly catalogues asset attribute data, a functional hierarchy, criticality analysis, risk and failure analysis, control plans, reliability analysis and continuous improvement. Such efforts include periodic inspections, condition evaluations and prioritizing repairs accordingly. This book contains select papers that were presented at the 10th New York City Bridge Conference, held on August 26-27, 2019. The volume is a valuable contribution to the state-of-the-art in bridge engineering.
Safety and Reliability of Bridge Structures
Recent surveys of the U.S. infrastructure‘s condition have rated a staggering number of bridges structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. While not necessarily unsafe, a structurally deficient bridge must be posted for weight and have limits for speed, due to its deteriorated structural components. Bridges with old design features that canno
