All major aspects of life-cycle civil engineering are addressed including aging of structures deterioration modeling durable materials earthquake and accidental loadings sustainability fatigue and damage structure-environment interaction design for durability failure analysis and risk prevention lifetime structural optimization long-term performance analysis performance-based design service life prediction time-variant reliability uncertainty modeling damage identification field testing health monitoring inspection and evaluation maintenance strategies rehabilitation techniques strengthening and repair structural integrity decision-making processes human factors in life-cycle engineering life-cycle cost models project management lifetime risk analysis and optimization whole life costing artificial intelligence methods bridges and viaducts high rise buildings offshore structures precast systems runway and highway pavements tunnels and underground structures. This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of life-cycle and sustainability in civil engineering and significant contributions to the decision-making process for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The aim of the editors is to provide a valuable source of information for anyone interested in life-cycle and sustainability of civil infrastructure systems including students researchers and practitioners from all areas of engineering and industry. <br/> <br/> CRC Press hardcover
