Life-cycle cost assessment of optimally designed reinforced concrete buildings under seismic actions
TL;DR: This work investigates the effect of the analysis procedure, the number of seismic records imposed, the performance criterion used and the structural type (regular or irregular) is investigated, on the life-cycle cost analysis of 3D reinforced concrete structures.

Optimal inspection planning for onshore pipelines subject to external corrosion
TL;DR: The investigation addresses a challenging problem of practical relevance, and strives for using the best available models to describe random corrosion growth and the relevant limit state functions.

Renewal theory-based life-cycle analysis of deteriorating engineering systems
Ramesh Kumar,Paolo Gardoni +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a renewal theory-based life cycle analysis (RTLCA) is proposed to obtain important life-cycle variables such as the expected time lost in repairs, the reliability of the system and the cost of operation and failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic renewal process models for estimation of damage cost over the life-cycle of a structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reformulated the damage cost estimation problem as a compound renewal process and derived general solutions for the mean and variance of total cost, with and without discounting, over the life cycle of the structure.

Risk acceptance and maintenance optimization of aging civil engineering infrastructures
R. Rackwitz,A. Joanni +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the renewal model for cost-benefit optimization including maintenance is presented, and three types of maintenance strategies are proposed, i.e. age-dependent maintenance, block maintenance and maintenance by inspection and (perfect) repair.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Statistical Theory of Reliability and Life Testing: Probability Models
Richard E. Barlow,Frank Proschan +1 more
TL;DR: A number of new classes of life distributions arising naturally in reliability models are treated systematically and each provides a realistic probabilistic description of a physical property occurring in the reliability context, thus permitting more realistic modeling of commonly occurring reliability situations.
