Reliability based methods

Detailed objectives of this study are: to analyze the risk of failure and probability of failure of existing reinforced concrete bridges qualitatively and quantitatively; to consider the effects of interactions among various deterioration parameters and among bridge components on system failure; to identify major durability related distress mechanisms of deterioration of reinforced concrete bridges and model the subsequent risk of failure of bridge system;…

This research project "Prioritisation in infrastructure asset maintenance" aims to develop a reliable and accurate decision-making method for improving the maintenance prioritisation of irrigation infrastructure. The method should utilise agreed evaluation criteria, based on existing organisational policies and risk frameworks, and real-time data representing the physical condition of assets to prioritise them for maintenance.
