Abstract
Two main classes of maintenance are discerned: corrective and preventive maintenance. In this classification only the last subclass contains inspection besides repair. When a corrective maintenance strategy is applied, the structure will be repaired after failure. In a preventive maintenance scheme the structure will be repaired at specified intervals defined in time or operational hours before failure occurs. In a more refined strategy the state of the structure is inspected at such intervals. On the basis of the inspection result the decision to repair is taken.
