The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

The optimal decisions to maintain or improve the reliability and functionality of structures and
infrastructure systems can only be achieved through proper integrated management …

Decision-making for engineering systems management can be efficiently formulated using
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) or Partially Observable MDPs (POMDPs). Typical …

In recent years, significant advances have been accomplished in the fields of modeling,
analysis, and design of deteriorating civil engineering systems, and novel approaches to life …

The present paper proposed a probabilistic methodology for evaluating the lifetime seismic
resilience of the cable-stayed bridge considering the effect of structural corrosion. In this …

This paper studies the life-cycle performance and cost of reinforced concrete highway
bridges subjected to earthquake ground motions while they are continuously exposed to the …

Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem.
This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety …

Coastal bridges in marine environments suffer from serious corrosion, resulting in the
degradation of the seismic capacity of the structures during the long-term service period …

A probabilistic model for chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel in concrete
structures is presented in this work. The main purpose of this model is to simulate the …

This paper presents a probabilistic approach to predict the lifetime seismic performance of
concrete bridges exposed to aggressive environments. The time-variant behaviour of critical …
