Structures and Infrastructure Systems
Our knowledge to model, design, analyse, maintain, manage and predict the life-cycle performance of infrastructure systems is continually growing. However, the complexity of these systems continues to increase and an integrated approach is necessary to understand the effect of technological, environmental, economic, social, and political interactions on the life-cycle performance of engineering infrastructure. In order to accomplish this, methods have to be developed to systematically analyse structure and infrastructure systems, and models have to be formulated for evaluating and comparing the risks and benefits associated with various alternatives. Civil engineers must maximize the life-cycle benefits of these systems to serve the needs of our society by selecting the best balance of the safety, economy, resilience and sustainability requirements despite imperfect information and knowledge. Within the context of this book, the necessary concepts are introduced and illustrated with applications to civil and marine structures. This book is intended for an audience of researchers and practitioners world‐wide with a background in civil and marine engineering, as well as people working in infrastructure maintenance, management, cost and optimization analysis. The chapters originally published as articles in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering.
Life-Cycle of Structures and Infrastructure Systems
Life-Cycle of Structures and Infrastructure Systems collects the lectures and papers presented at IALCCE 2023 – The Eighth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering held at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, 2-6 July, 2023. This Open Access Book contains the full papers of 514 contributions, including the Fazlur R. Khan Plenary Lecture, nine Keynote Lectures, and 504 technical papers from 45 countries. The papers cover recent advances and cutting-edge research in the field of life-cycle civil engineering, including emerging concepts and innovative applications related to life-cycle design, assessment, inspection, monitoring, repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, and management of structures and infrastructure systems under uncertainty. Major topics covered include life-cycle safety, reliability, risk, resilience and sustainability, life-cycle damaging processes, life-cycle design and assessment, life-cycle inspection and monitoring, life-cycle maintenance and management, life-cycle performance of special structures, life-cycle cost of structures and infrastructure systems, and life-cycle-oriented computational tools, among others. This Open Access Book provides an up-to-date overview of the field of life-cycle civil engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions to mitigate the life-cycle risk and improve the life-cycle reliability, resilience, and sustainability of structures and infrastructure systems exposed to multiple natural and human-made hazards in a changing climate. It will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with life-cycle of civil engineering systems, including students, researchers, practicioners, consultants, contractors, decision makers, and representatives of managing bodies and public authorities from all branches of civil engineering.
Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems in Diverse Environments
Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems in Diverse Environments contains the lectures and papers presented at the Ninth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE 2025, Melbourne, Australia, 15–19 July, 2025). This book includes the full papers of 228 contributions presented at IALCCE 2025, including the Fazlur R. Khan Lecture, seven Keynote Lectures, and 220 technical papers. The papers cover recent advances and cutting-edge research in the field of life-cycle civil engineering, including emerging concepts, new theories and innovative applications related to life-cycle design, assessment, inspection, monitoring, repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, and management of structures and infrastructure systems under uncertainty. Major topics covered include: life-cycle carbon assessment of civil infrastructure systems, life-cycle design and assessment for structures and infrastructure systems, life-cycle management of civil infrastructure, whole life costing, life-cycle risk analysis and optimization of civil infrastructure, and life-cycle digital tools for civil engineering, among others. This open access book provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of life-cycle civil engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions to mitigate the life-cycle risk and improve the life-cycle safety, reliability, resilience, and sustainability of structures and infrastructure systems exposed to diverse environments in a changing climate for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. It will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with life-cycle of civil engineering systems, including students, researchers, practitioners, consultants, contractors, decision makers, and representatives of managing bodies and public authorities from all branches of civil engineering.
