Abstract

The deteriorating health of existing bridge infrastructure indicates the potential increased risk of structural damage not only under operational but also extreme loading conditions, such as seismic events. Such damage results not only in threats to public safety or economic consequences, but also requires an increased amount of energy spent on subsequent repair, restoration, or replacement, as well as rerouting of traffic. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the life-cycle analysis of infrastructure, for …
