Abstract:

Inevitably, all structures deteriorate towards a state of unserviceability and collapse. Maintenance is the art of controlling the rate at which our structures deteriorate. Proficiency in this field relies on judgement derived from regular inspection, monitoring and experience.

The effects of natural hazards with respect to infrastructure resilience are reviewed with examples related to earthquakes, hurricanes, and fire. Infrastructure resilience with respect to natural hazards vs climate change is discussed. Innovation with respect to increasing the resilience of pipelines and tunnels is examined.

Chi-Ho Jeon - PSC Bridge Maintenance using Digital Twin

Bridges, connecting communities and serving as regional lifelines, are vital components of the transport infrastructure. Current bridge evaluation techniques are mainly based on visual inspections, which are qualitative and fail to estimate the strength reserve capacities of bridges.
