Text of Note

Any structural system in service is subject to age-related deterioration, leading to potential concerns regarding maintenance, health & safety, environmental and economic implications. Condition assessment of aged structures is an invaluable, single source of information on structural assessment techniques for marine and land-based structures such as ships, offshore installations, industrial plant and buildings. Topics covered include:- Current practices and standards for structural condition assessment- Fundamental mechanisms and advanced mathematical methods for predicting structural deterioration- Residual strength assessment of deteriorated structures- Inspection and maintenance of aged structures- Reliability and risk assessment of aged structuresProfessionals from a broad range of disciplines will be able to gain a better understanding of current practices and standards for structural condition assessment or health monitoring, and what future trends might be. Single source of information on structural assessment techniques for marine and land-based structuresExamines the residual strength and reliability of aged structuresAssesses current practices covering inspection, health monitoring and maintenance.
