Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) of RC Bridges Subjected to Multiple Hazards [PDF]

Scientia Iranica, 2020
The main structural elements of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges deteriorate with time under such uncertain hazards as scouring and corrosive conditions. In this paper, a multi-hazard framework is proposed to assess the performance of bridges subjected to the main effective uncertain natural hazards during their lifetime.
