Recent advances in relevant technologies have led to innovative solutions that can achieve reliable, resilient, and sustainable designs. Such characteristics are now considered essential for any newly designed engineering system. Such innovative solutions include applications of artificial intelligence in the design of integrated smart systems. This book discusses the implications of new concepts such as sustainability, resilience, health monitoring, and artificial intelligence on the reliability of designed systems.

Life-Cycle of Structures and Infrastructure Systems contains the lectures and papers presented at IALCCE 2023- The Eighth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering, held at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, 2-6 July, 2023. This book contains the full papers of 514 contributions presented at IALCCE 2023, including the Fazlur R. Khan Plenary Lecture, nine Keynote Lectures, and 504 technical papers from 45 countries. The papers cover recent advances and cutting-edge research in the field of life-cycle civil engineering, including emerging concepts and innovative applications related to life-cycle design, assessment, inspection, monitoring, repair, maintenance, rehabilitation, and management of structures and infrastructure systems under uncertainty. Major topics covered include life-cycle safety, reliability, risk, resilience and sustainability, life-cycle damaging processes, life-cycle design and assessment, life-cycle inspection and monitoring, life-cycle maintenance and management, life-cycle performance of special structures, life-cycle cost of structures and infrastructure systems, and life-cycle-oriented computational tools, among others. This Open Access Book provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of life-cycle civil engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions to mitigate the life-cycle risk and improve the life-cycle reliability, resilience, and sustainability of structures and infrastructure systems exposed to multiple natural and human-made hazards in a changing climate. It will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with life-cycle of civil engineering systems, including students, researchers, practicioners, consultants, contractors, decision makers, and representatives of managing bodies and public authorities from all branches of civil engineering.

"Engineering for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice bridges the gap between engineering and sustainability, encompassing theory, practices and case studies. It provides an introduction to the sustainable development agenda and sustainable technology development, and also covers practical methods and tools for the development and implementation of sustainable solutions. This book is divided into four parts: Engineering Sustainability Challenges; Sustainability Assessment Tools; Sustainable Engineering solutions; and Conclusions. Topics covered include life cycle analysis, industrial symbiosis, industrial ecology and green engineering principles, sustainability matrix and eco-efficiency for developing sustainable engineering solutions. Engineering for Sustainable Development: Theory and Practice includes a wide range of industry applications, including civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering, and is accompanied by a website hosting website hosting additional case studies, video clips, research articles and workshop activities" [Publisher]
