Life-Cycle Performance of Deteriorating Structural Systems under Uncertainty: Review
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 142, Issue 9
Abstract
In recent years, significant advances have been accomplished in the fields of modeling, analysis, and design of deteriorating civil engineering systems, and novel approaches to life-cycle assessment, maintenance planning, and optimal design of structural systems have been proposed. Despite these advances, life-cycle concepts are far from being explicitly addressed in design and assessment codes and effectively implemented into practice. There is, therefore, a need to promote further research in the field of life-cycle performance of structural systems under uncertainty and to fill the gap between theory and practice by incorporating life-cycle concepts in structural design and assessment codes. An effort is currently ongoing within the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)/ASCE to meet this need. This paper is part of this effort and is aimed at presenting a review of the main principles, concepts, methods, and strategies for life-cycle assessment and design of deteriorating structural systems under uncertainty. General criteria for deterioration modeling are first presented, with emphasis on the effects of corrosion and fatigue in steel structures and chloride-induced corrosion in concrete structures. The time-variant structural performance is then investigated with reference to a set of probabilistic performance indicators, and the structural lifetime associated with a reliability target is formulated. The role of inspection and monitoring, the effects of maintenance and repair interventions, and the definition of cost-effective maintenance strategies are discussed. The concepts of life-cycle performance assessment and maintenance planning are used to formulate the life-cycle reliability-based design problem in an optimization context.
