Book Description
The 16 peer-reviewed papers describe recent developments in the US, Denmark, Italy, and Japan. They focus on the critical importance of concepts and methods of optimization both in designing new facilities and in replacing, repairing, and retrofitting existing ones. The topics include the optimal allocation of resources for preventive interventions on bridges, life-cycle cost analysis with natural hazard risk for water systems, and symptom-based reliability and health monitoring. Addressed to both academics and practitioners. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
