CRC Press Life-Cycle Civil Engineering: Innovation, Theory and Practice: Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE ... (Life-Cycle of Civil Engineering Systems)

Life-Cycle Civil Engineering: Innovation, Theory and Practice contains the lectures and papers presented at IALCCE2020, the Seventh International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering, held in Shanghai, China, October 27-30, 2020. It consists of a book of extended abstracts and a multimedia device containing the full papers of 230 contributions, including the Fazlur R. Khan lecture, eight keynote lectures, and 221 technical papers from all over the world. All major aspects of life-cycle engineering are addressed, with special emphasis on life-cycle design, assessment, maintenance and management of structures and infrastructure systems under various deterioration mechanisms due to various environmental hazards. It is expected that the proceedings of IALCCE2020 will serve as a valuable reference to anyone interested in life-cycle of civil infrastructure systems, including students, researchers, engineers and practitioners from all areas of engineering and industry. About the Author Dr. Airong Chen is a professor in the Department of Bridge Engineering, College of Civil Engineering, Tongji University. He was former dean of the Department of Bridge Engineering and former deputy dean of the College of Civil Engineering. Up to now, Prof. Chen has received many awards, including the First Prize of State Education Council Award in 1995, the Third Prize of Scientific and Technological Progress of Shanghai in 2000, the First Prize of Outstanding Engineering Counseling in 2003, and the First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress in 2009, etc. Prof. Chen has been invited to serve in international scientific committees of many conferences, including the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) and International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS). He is the author or co-author of over 200 scientific publications, and reviewers of many international journals in structural engineering. His research interests include life cycle design theory of bridge, bridge risk assessment, bridge aesthetic design, bridge performance under extreme events, and traffic safety of bridges under severe climates, bridge aerodynamics and conceptual design of bridges.
