There is growing interest in reducing building energy consumption through increased
sensor data and increased computational support for building controls. The goal of reduced …

Infrastructure management plays an important role in sustainable development and is
essential for the evaluation of the socioeconomic feasibility of existing projects and the …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) describes a process for inferring quantifiable
metrics of structural condition, which can serve as input to support decisions on the …

In the field of Structural Health Monitoring, tests and sensing systems are intended as tools
providing diagnoses, which allow the operator of the facility to develop an efficient …

Although various tools and procedures have been developed to help transportation
engineers objectively evaluate bridge maintenance needs, selecting and scoping projects …

Abstract Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) can model complex
sequential decision-making problems under stochastic and uncertain environments. A main …

The objective of this paper is to introduce a multi-year pavement maintenance programming
methodology that can explicitly account for uncertainty in pavement deterioration. This is …

Preservation (maintenance and rehabilitation) strategy is the critical factor controlling
pavement performance. A life-cycle optimization (LCO) model was developed to determine …

Bridge maintenance and replacement optimization methods use deterioration models to
predict the future condition of bridge components. The purpose of this paper is to develop a …

Optimizing inspection and maintenance (I&M) plans for a large deteriorating structure is a
computationally challenging task, in particular if one considers interdependences among its …
