Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-cycle Performance and Cost: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management, Porto, Portugal, 16-19 July 2006Paulo J. S. Cruz, Dan M. Frangopol, Luis C. Neves With contributions from leading experts, this book addresses all major aspects of bridge maintenance, safety, and management and delineates the state of the art in bridge maintenance and safety. It offers advice for decision making in bridge maintenance, safety, management, and cost for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. Topics include deterioration modeling, emerging technologies, field testing, financial planning, health monitoring, high-performance materials, innovations, load capacity assessment, maintenance strategies, new technology and materials, nondestructive testing, future traffic demands, reliability and risk, sustainable materials, whole-life costing, and more. |
