Vulnerability is a fundamental component of risk and its understanding is important for
characterising the reliability of infrastructure assets and systems and for mitigating risks. The …

Reliability assessment of engineered structures is a powerful and useful concept to estimate
the structural capacity of withstanding hazardous events during their service lives. Taking …

Structural Reliability Analysis and Prediction, Third Edition is a textbook which addresses
the important issue of predicting the safety of structures at the design stage and also the …

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 …

A structural deterioration reliability (probabilistic) model has been used herein to calculate
probabilities of structural failure. New reinforced concrete corrosion initiation, corrosion rate …

This paper presents the formulation of a time-dependent seismic fragility format for bridges,
as well as new insights into the potential effects of aging and deterioration on seismic …

The second edition of this bestselling handbook covers virtually all the information an
engineer would need to know about any type of bridge-from planning to construction to …

A structural deterioration reliability model is developed to calculate probabilities of structural
failure (flexure) for a typical reinforced concrete continuous slab bridge. Corrosion may be …

A lifetime optimization methodology for planning the inspection and repair of structures that
deteriorate over time is introduced and illustrated through numerical examples. The …

Bridges subjected to environmental attack can experience changes in resistance which are
time-variant. In this study, flexural strength loss in concrete bridge beams due to corrosion of …
