The Role of Structural Aging in Achieving Life-Cycle Performance Goals of Civil Infrastructure
The Nation's infrastructure is at risk from aging, increasing the potential for deterioration in safety and functionality of buildings, bridges and other civil infrastructure facilities. Quantitative time-dependent reliability assessment tools have matured in recent years to the point where they can assist in establishing priorities and strategies for managing risk of aging infrastructure through an extended service life. A life-cycle reliability assessment can determine whether the deterioration is significant from a safety (or serviceability) point of view, whether acceptable performance can be expected during a projected service life, and what additional requirements, if any, should be imposed as conditions for continued service. This presentation will explore a number of practical issues that arise in answering these key questions in general terms, touching upon common degradation mechanisms, practical time-dependent reliability analysis tools, and perspectives on risk that are germane to civil infrastructure decision-making.
