“…There are two main types of maintenance actions that could affect the reliability index profile: preventive maintenance and essential maintenance. As indicated in Das41, 42 and Frangopol & Das43, preventive maintenance actions such as painting, silane treatment, and minor repairs are undertaken when the reliability index is above its target value (minimum acceptable reliability level). In general, preventive maintenance delays the deterioration process and, therefore, reduces the rate of reliability index deterioration over a period of time.…”

In comparison with the well‐researched field of analysis and design of structural systems, the life‐cycle performance prediction of these systems under no maintenance as well as under various maintenance scenarios is far more complex, and is a rapidly emergent field in structural engineering. As structures become older and maintenance costs become higher, different agencies and administrations in charge of civil infrastructure systems are facing challenges related to the implementation of structure maintenance and management systems based on life‐cycle cost considerations. This article reviews the research to date related to probabilistic models for maintaining and optimizing the life‐cycle performance of deteriorating structures and formulates future directions in this field.

“…Over the past several decades, the concepts and methods of structural reliability have developed rapidly and become more widely understood and accepted. There have been a lot of studies and applications [126][127][128][129][130][131][132] and comprehensive books [133][134][135][136][137][138][139] on reliability-based structure analysis.…”

Fatigue is among the most critical forms of damage potentially occurring in steel bridges, while accurate assessment or prediction of the fatigue damage status as well as the remaining fatigue life of steel bridges is still a challenging and unsolved issue. There have been numerous investigations on the fatigue damage evaluation and life prediction of steel bridges by use of deterministic or probabilistic methods. The purpose of this review is devoted to presenting a summary on the development history and current status of fatigue condition assessment of steel bridges, containing basic aspects of fatigue, classical fatigue analysis methods, data-driven fatigue life assessment, and reliability-based fatigue condition assessment.

“…This is used to estimate the probabilities that specific thresholds in the system are exceeded in the presence of uncertain system inputs and boundaries. Similar methods have been successfully applied in safety-critical applications of other industries such as nuclear, aviation, manufacturing and offshore [33][34][35][36].…”
