“…However, when aging and deterioration are considered, the evaluation of the system performance should account for additional probabilistic indicators aimed to provide a comprehensive description of the life-cycle structural resources (Saydam & Frangopol 2011, Zhu & Frangopol 2012, Ghosn & Frangopol 2013). There are several time-variant performance indicators that can be related to the possible occurrence of local and global failures, including system ductility, redundancy, elapsed time between failures, and robustness.…”

The significant advances recently accomplished in the fields of modeling, analysis, and design of deteriorating civil engineering systems, are far from being explicitly addressed in design codes and effectively implemented into practice. There is, therefore, a strong need to promote further research in the field of life-cycle performance of structural systems under uncertainty and to fill the gap between theory and practice by incorporating life-cycle concepts in structural design codes and standards. An effort is currently ongoing within SEI/ASCE to meet this need. This paper is part of this effort and it is aimed at presenting a short overview of the main principles, concepts, methods and strategies associated with life-cycle assessment and design of deteriorating structural systems under uncertainty.

“…• Further research on life-cycle performance of single bridges and bridge networks under seismic and other hazards, including reliability, risk, resilience and sustainability has to be performed along the lines reported in [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

“…Because of these uncertainties, it is imperative for structural engineers to accurately model and assess the structural performance and expected total cost within a probabilistic life-cycle context (Frangopol 2011).Furthermore, the effects of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation on structural lifecycle performance must be quantified (Barone &Frangopol 2014b, Frangopol et al 2004, Sánchez-Silva et al 2016, Zhu & Frangopol 2012, 2013. Approaches for the life-cycle management of infrastructure systems involving reliability performance indicators consider uncertainties associated with loads and resistance, but are not able to account for the consequences incurred from structural failure.…”
