This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and
structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state …

This study investigates post-development management approach of properties and how it
could be improved to stem the tide of building collapse in Nigeria. Extant literatures were …

The investigation of fatigue strength needs an accurate solution and reliable values of the
stress intensity factor (SIF). In this study, SIF of load-carrying cruciform welded joints has …

The fatigue life of welded joint was calculated based on numerical integration of simple
Paris' law and a reliable solution of the stress intensity factor (SIF). The initial crack length …

The local stress concentrations around the discontinuities and the weld defects are fairly
common. In this study, the investigation of thickness and stress concentration effects on …

Bending force and fatigue-induced crack is a generally assured trouble in industrial pipe line
achieving their original design life. An amount of high-profile accidents has been covered in …

The stress intensity factor range (SIF) is the inevitable parameter, which must be studied and
calculated in fracture mechanics methods. The stress intensity factor, SIF describes the …

The most important characteristics for service safety of welded joints are those describing
crack initiation and growth caused by variable loading. Crack initiation and growth caused …

Structural life assessment periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural
system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of …
