Risk-Management System for Infrastructure-Condition Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Like other categories of the nation's infrastructure, offshore platforms are aging, and present a problem to owners and regulators with regard to the tracking of vital information and the management of risk. A prototype ... -
Crisis Perception and Policy Outcomes: Comparison between Environmental and Infrastructure Crises
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The publication of -
On Civil Infrastructure Systems and Engineering Education
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Current trends along with results of the 1995 ASCE Education Conference are reviewed and discussed herein. In addition, several suggestions concerning civil infrastructure systems and engineering education are offered ... -
Long-Term Structural Behavior of Pipeline Rehabilitation Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)An investigation into the long-term structural performance of pipe rehabilitation products, specifically cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and fold-and-formed pipe (FFP), was sponsored by the joint Corps of Engineers and industry ... -
Assessing Infrastructure Deficiencies: The Case of Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper assesses deficiencies in highway bridges as a case study of the present state of an important segment of the nation's infrastructure. The National Bridge Inventory (NBI) contains a considerable amount of information ... -
ERRATA
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair with Partial Observability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A partially observable Markov decision process (MDP) model is presented that extends beyond completely observable approaches by recognizing that inspections do not yield perfect estimates of the true internal state of ... -
VIEWPOINT
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
State Increment Method of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis for Highway Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)A state increment method of life-cycle cost analysis (SILCCA) is presented for project-level evaluation of highway infrastructure maintenance options. The method involves: (1) Characterization of facility's physical and ... -
Infrastructural Needs in Waste Containment and Environmental Restoration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)In response to the needs in waste management and environmental restoration during the last two decades, a new service sector has emerged in the United States and across the world. Civil engineers who serve this sector have ... -
Estimation of Infrastructure Transition Probabilities from Condition Rating Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Markovian transition probabilities have been used extensively in the field of infrastructure management to provide forecasts of facility conditions. However, existing approaches used to estimate these transition probabilities ... -
Attribute–Double-Sampling Method for Infrastructure Quality Assurance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Infrastructure-construction quality could be better assured by imposing more responsibility for quality process control on contractors, and by having owners place more effort on specifying clear inspection procedures and ... -
Imaging of Reinforced Concrete: State-of-the-Art Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Nondestructive evaluation plays an important role in the assessment of the nation's infrastructure. The evaluation methods for reinforced and prestressed concrete facilities can become more reliable if the methods incorporate ... -
Uniform Infrastructure Fields: Definition and Identification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The present paper addresses the problem of assessing infrastructure condition using detailed spatial distress data. A new understanding of the spatial behavior of infrastructure distress is presented, and a condition ... -
From the Editor-in-Chief

Use of Geosynthetics in Infrastructure Remediation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The remediation of infrastructure systems represents a massive public-works effort that probably rivals past activities such as dam/canal building in the 1930s and the construction of the interstate system more recently. ... -
Research as a Means for Improving Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Research is a conscious and directed effort to increase understanding and discover new and better ways to achieve goals. Leading economists attribute a major share of the nation's economic growth since World War II to the ... -
Modeling Infrastructure Performance and User Costs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)An infrastructure-performance-deterioration model predicts the performance of infrastructure facilities such as bridges, railroad, and highways as a function of explanatory variables such as inherent infrastructure ... -
Efficiency of Water-Supply and Sanitation Projects in Ghana
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The efficient use of scarce resources for domestic water supply and sanitation is particularly vital in low-income countries. Conventional cost–benefit analysis gives an indication of the appropriateness of projects but ... -
