Abstract: |
This paper presents essential life time considerations for infrastructure facilities. The considerations are the basis for developing a scientific concept for life time harmonisation. This concept is introduced and the developed research procedure is explained. The terms infrastructure and infrastructure facilities are defined. A uniform life cycle model and the different life time types are described. Factors that govern the life times are analysed for the combination in a life time prognostication model. Examples are presented for road bridges. |
