Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 19 papers on the optimal design and maintenance planning of civil infrastructure systems such asbridges, buildings, transmission line structures, and nuclear power plants. The authors?coming from Austria, Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United States?offer case studies that are detailed and research findings that describe applications of life-cycle, reliability and optimization theories to civil infrastructure systems. Topics include: prioritization of bridge maintenance needs; life-cycle optimization of structures; cost-effectiveness optimization for aseismic design criteria of buildings; condition assessment and maintenance of aging structures in critical facilities; condition assessment of bridges; optimization of quality assurance of welded structures; optimal reliability-based bridge maintenance planning; effective reanalysis for damaged structures; optimal design of transmission line structures; optimization and reliability-lifetime oriented design; and optimum policy for civil infrastructure improvement decision making. This book serves as a valuable reference to engineers and managers concerned with design and maintenance planning of civil infrastructure systems.

A comprehensive and easy to understand introduction to a wide range of tools to help designers to optimize their projects. The authors are engineers and therefore many of the examples are on engineering applications, but the techniques presented are common to various areas of knowledge and pervade disciplinary divisions. The book describes the fundamental ideas, mathematical and graphic methods and shows how to use Matlab and EXCEL for optimization.

This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. In most developing countries, the term “transmission structures” usually means lattice steel towers. The term actually includes a vast range of structural systems and configurations of various materials such as wood, steel, concrete and composites. This book discusses those systems along with associated topics such as structure functions and configurations, load cases for design, analysis techniques, structure and foundation modeling, design deliverables and latest advances in the field. In the foundations section, theories related to direct embedment, drilled shaf ts, spread foundations and anchors are discussed in detail. Featuring worked out design problems for students, the book is aimed at students, practicing engineers, researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia, it will be an adequate text-book / design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book a useful reference at work.
