What is Lifetime Optimization of Box-Girder Bridges about?

This paper presents a lifetime reliability-based approach to optimize the life-cycle cost and CO2 emissions of post-tensioned concrete box-girder bridges under corrosion. The approach determines the optimal initial design and maintenance strategies by minimizing economic, environmental and societal impacts while satisfying reliability targets. Effective maintenance can extend service life at minimum cost and emissions. Durability-focused initial designs are particularly beneficial for life-cycle performance
