Design, Assessment, Monitoring and Maintenance of Bridges and Infrastructure Networks

This book collects the extended versions of selected papers presented at IABMAS 2012 and invited papers originally published in a Special Issue of Structure and Infrastructure Engineering. This collection is a valuable reference for scientific research and engineering applications.
