Bridge Collapse Frequencies versus Failure Probabilities

Know about the book -

Bridge Collapse Frequencies versus Failure Probabilities is written by Dirk Proske and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 331973833X (ISBN 10) and 9783319738338 (ISBN 13).

This monograph provides a comparative study between failure probabilities and collapse frequencies in structural bridge engineering. The author presents techniques to resolve and extend the limitations of both parameters, taking also into account the time dependency of both parameters. The book includes available data and case studies and thus presents patterns to identify potential weaknesses and challenges in bridge maintenance. The target audience primarily comprises practicing engineers in the field of bridge engineering, but the book may also be beneficial for academic researchers alike.
