“…Sabatino et al [90] used multi attribute utility theory to provide a framework for decision makers to get the optimal life-cycle maintenance actions. The framework is applied to an existing highway bridge to evaluate the consequences of structural failure to the economy, society and environment of different maintenance plans.…”

Abstract:The construction of bridges has been necessary for societies since ancient times, when the communication between and within towns, cities or communities was established. Until recently, the economic factor has been the only one considered in the decision-making of any type of construction process for bridges. However, nowadays, the objective should not be just the construction of bridges, but of sustainable bridges. Economic, social and environmental factors, which form the three pillars of sustainability, have been recently added. These three factors usually have conflicting perspectives. The decision-making process allows the conversion of a judgment into a rational procedure to reach a compromise solution. The aim of this paper is to review different methods and sustainable criteria used for decision-making at each life-cycle phase of a bridge, from design to recycling or demolition. This paper examines 77 journal articles for which different methods have been used. The most used methods are briefly described. In addition, a statistical study was carried out on the Multiple Attribute Decision-making papers reviewed.

“…The two performance indicators (i.e., sustainability and resilience) should be investigated for the conventional and base‐isolated buildings under seismic hazard and integrated for a more comprehensive performance‐based assessment content. There is a need to expand upon the seismic resilience to include the sustainability metrics . Further efforts have to be made to design high‐performance and environmentally friendly buildings, which can facilitate the reduction of economic losses associated with natural hazards, improve safety and energy efficiency, and subsequently reduce the environmental impact.…”

Sustainability and resilience are issues that are recognized worldwide, and increased attention should be placed on strategies to design and maintain infrastructure systems that are hazard resilient, damage tolerant, and sustainable. In this paper, a methodology to evaluate the seismic sustainability and resilience of both conventional and base-isolated steel buildings is presented. Furthermore, the proposed approach is used to explore the difference between the performance associated with these buildings by considering the three pillars of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. Sustainability and resilience are both considered to cover a comprehensive performance-based assessment content. The uncertainties associated with performance and consequence evaluation of structural and non-structural components are incorporated within the assessment process. The proposed performance-based assessment approach is illustrated on conventional and base-isolated steel buildings under given seismic scenarios. 54% of energy consumption in the United States is caused by building [4]. Additionally, buildings account for a paramount portion of greenhouse emission. Although building rating systems, such as LEED [5], evaluate the greenness of new and existing structural systems, the ratings do not measure building hazard performance, which can impact building sustainability performance as well. Hazardresistant and green structure design that aims to improve building performance is needed [6,7].Several improvements have been made in codes to increase seismic resistance of buildings [8]. The protection associated with non-structural components, equipment, and contents of buildings under seismic hazard is gaining increased attention in building design provisions, such as the International Building Code [9] incorporating more stringent design requirements for non-structural components. Loss associated with non-structural components could be much larger than that of structural components [10]. The concept of base-isolation can be adopted to reduce the floor acceleration of buildings, consequently, reduce the damage of acceleration sensitive non-structural components. However, because of the high initial construction cost, the performance benefits associated with base-isolated buildings are not recognized. Several studies have investigated the nonlinear seismic performance of isolated systems [10][11][12][13]; the isolation device can reduce the seismic demands compared with a base-fixed building. [14] investigated the cost and benefit of retrofitting reinforced concrete frame buildings and concluded that this benefit can outweigh the repair cost within the lifecycle. [15] concluded that an isolated building is more cost effective when the life-cycle is longer than 250 years considering the direct loss only.[10] evaluated cost-benefit of several common retrofit solutions for older RC frame buildings and showed that the cost-effectiveness became more significant when fatalities were considered. However, the sustainability per...

“…In general terms, there is the need of refined decision-making approaches in order to use a rational approach in the selection of the optimal restoration strategy accounting for all the different economic, social and environmental aspects. Penadés-Plà et al (2017) presented an interesting review of previous literature studies dealing with the implementation of methods based on the Multiple-Attribute-Decision-Making (MADM) for a sustainable bridge design: among others, scoring methods (Podvezko, 2011), distance-based methods (Tamiza et al, 1998;Ballestero, 2007), pairwise comparison approaches like analytic hierarchy/network processes (Gorener, 2012;Ali et al, 2015;Rashidi et al, 2016), outranking methods (Behzadian et al, 2010;Govindan and Jepsen, 2016;Jajac et al, 2017), multi-attribute utility/value theory (Sarabando and Dias, 2010;Sabatino et al, 2015) can be viable solutions for a rational decision-making process. Recently Yoon and Hastak (2017) presented a multitiered prioritizing method based on urgency scales able to take into account two hierarchical selection steps based on urgency and total prioritization scales.…”

The present study provides a review of the most diffused technical and non-technical performance indicators adopted worldwide by infrastructure owners. This work, developed within the European COST Action TU 1406-"Quality specifications for roadway bridges, standardization at a European level," aims to summarize the state-of-art maintenance scheduling practices adopted by bridge owners, mainly focusing on the identification and classification of the most diffused performance indicators (PIs). PIs are subdivided in technical and non-technical ones: for this latter subclass, PIs are classified in environmental, social and economic-targeted. The study aims to be a reference for researchers dealing with performance-based assessments and bridge maintenance and management practices.
