Life-cycle analysis is a comprehensive approach to managing the service life of deteriorating structures efficiently and effectively. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant surge in the development of theoretical and practical methodologies for assessing life-cycle performance and cost analysis, driven by the growing demand for enhanced structural safety and extended service life. This book serves as a comprehensive resource on the state-of-the-art in life-cycle analysis and maintenance optimization for fatigue-sensitive structures. It offers a comprehensive coverage of key concepts and methodologies, encompassing probabilistic concepts of life-cycle performance and cost analysis, inspection, monitoring, and maintenance strategies for fatigue cracks, estimation techniques for fatigue crack detection, optimal inspection and monitoring planning, multi-objective life-cycle optimization, and decision-making processes in life-cycle analysis.

The book delves into various aspects of life-cycle optimization, including considerations of probability of fatigue crack detection, fatigue crack damage detection time, maintenance intervals, probability of failure, service life, and total life-cycle cost. By integrating recently developed approaches for inspection and maintenance planning, the book provides practical insights for engineers engaged in civil and marine structures, including students, researchers, and practitioners. It equips them with reliable and cost-effective maintenance planning strategies for fatigue-sensitive structures, enabling them to develop advanced approaches and techniques in the field of life-cycle maintenance optimization and structural safety.

In summary, this book is a valuable tool for professionals and researchers seeking to advance their understanding of life-cycle analysis and maintenance optimization for fatigue-sensitive structures. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest developments in the field, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and implement effective maintenance strategies to ensure the longevity and safety of these critical infrastructure components.
