Life-cycle performance model for composites in construction
A conceptual framework for modeling the life-cycle performance of civil infrastructure facilities involving conventional or composite materials was presented. Life-cycle performance was based on material degradation under the effects of environmental exposure and operational conditions. Monte Carlo Simulation was used to account for the uncertainty involved in the model. The model is suitable for applications where little or no historical data can be obtained and conventional methods cannot be used. The model has not yet been verified with case studies due to the non-availability of the appropriate material deterioration models. The logical correctness and the computational feasibility of the framework were verified using a hypothetical situation. Successful application of the model in practice can only be achieved when sophisticated material deterioration models are available from future research. The model can have practical significance as a tool for the selection of optimal maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation actions, for estimating the life-cycle costs of the structure, and for the comparison of composite and conventional material alternatives in civil infrastructure systems.
