Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Life-Cycle Sustainability and Innovations contains lectures and papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2020), held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, April 11–15, 2021. This volume consists of a book of extended abstracts and a USB card containing the full papers of 571 contributions presented at IABMAS 2020, including the T.Y. Lin Lecture, 9 Keynote Lectures, and 561 technical papers from 40 countries. The contributions presented at IABMAS 2020 deal with the state of the art as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to the main aspects of maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges. Major topics include: advanced bridge design, construction and maintenance approaches, safety, reliability and risk evaluation, life-cycle management, life-cycle sustainability, standardization, analytical models, bridge management systems, service life prediction, maintenance and management strategies, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and field testing, safety, resilience, robustness and redundancy, durability enhancement, repair and rehabilitation, fatigue and corrosion, extreme loads, and application of information and computer technology and artificial intelligence for bridges, among others. This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions on maintenance, safety, management, life-cycle sustainability and technological innovations of bridges for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The Editors hope that these Proceedings will serve as a valuable reference to all concerned with bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including engineers, researchers, academics and students from all areas of bridge engineering.

This collection of papers, which was subjected to strict peer-review by 2 to 4 expert referees, aims to collect together the latest advances in, and applications of, traditional constructional materials, advanced constructional materials and green building materials. It cannot fail to suggest new ideas and strategies to be tried in this field. Review from Book News Inc.: This four-volume set contains peer-reviewed papers from a June 2011 conference, describing the latest achievements, applications, and trends in civil engineering, architecture, and building materials. In addition to covering traditional construction materials, papers also report on research in advanced materials and green building materials. Other areas explored are environmental architecture, equipment engineering, and energy-saving technologies for construction. Some specific paper topics include the behavior of reinforced concrete subjected to boric acid corrosion in a nuclear power plant, fireproof performance of foam concrete insulation board, the application of glazed hollow beads in thermal insulation, and aerated concrete produced by iron tailings. Other subjects examined include application of thermoelectric generation technology in building-integrated photovoltaics, the use of radar technology in concrete water content testing, temperature crack and control measures of long-span beam-type conversion layers, and detection of destruction in urban pavement. Related topics include policies on recycling of construction waste, and construction equipment life-cycle cost studies. Some papers include b & w images. There is no subject index.
