Service life estimation and extension of civil engineering structures provides valuable information on the development and use of newer and more durable materials and methods of construction, as well as the development and use of new techniques of estimating service life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart one discusses using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to extend the service-life of civil engineering structures. It considers the key issues in the use of FRP composites, examines the possibility of extending the service life of structurally deficient and deteriorating concrete structures and investigates the uncertainties of using FRP composites in the rehabilitation of civil engineering structures. Part two discusses estimating the service life of civil engineering structures including modelling service life and maintenance strategies and probabilistic methods for service life estimation. It goes on to investigate non-destructive evaluation and testing (NDE\/NDT) as well as databases and knowledge-based systems for service life estimation of rehabilitated civil structures and pipelines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its distinguished editors and international team of contributors Service life estimation and extension of civil engineering structures is an invaluable resource to academics, civil engineers, construction companies, infrastructure providers and all those with an interest in improving the service life, safety and reliability of civil engineering structures.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart 1 Using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to extend the service-life of civil engineering structures: Key issues in the use of FRP composites in the rehabilitation and retrofitting of concrete structures\u003cbr\u003e Using FRP composites to extend the service life of corroded concrete structures\u003cbr\u003e Areas of uncertainty in the use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the rehabilitation of civil engineering structures\u003cbr\u003e Rehabilitation and service life estimation of bridge superstructures.
