A framework for life-cycle cost assessment of composites in construction
It is the objective of this paper to present a unique framework that utilizes material properties to assess the performance-based life-cycle cost of composite materials in construction. The hypothesis of the proposed model is that historical life-cycle performance data for conventional materials, knowledge about material properties, and deterioration characteristics for new and conventional materials can be effectively used to assess the life-cycle cost and behavior of composite materials in construction. The proposed model integrates deterioration characteristics of structural components under different environmental and loading conditions to establish performance envelopes. Monte Carlo simulation models are generated to evaluate various maintenance, repair and rehabilitation strategies possible over the life-cycle. The life-cycle cost associated with each scenario is computed, at different discount factors, to obtain the optimum life-cycle cost for various material options. The mode can have significant impact as a tool for life -cycle cost analysis of composite materials in comparison with conventional materials in the construction industry. The notion of performance curves and optimum maintenanace, repair and rehabilitation actions can widely affect the future direction of the construction industry and asset management systems.
