Lifetime Engineering For Civil Infrastructure

This document discusses lifetime engineering for civil infrastructure and outlines various performance requirements. It provides photos of different types of civil infrastructure projects like dams, bridges, canals, tunnels, and protective harbor facilities. Performance hierarchies are explained, noting objectives should align with functions. Requirements include safety, serviceability, restorability, durability, robustness, and integrity. A site visit is scheduled to examine a discharge tunnel.

Some photos of civil infrastructure


will be shown.

Consider objectives, why such the


shape designed, why such the
materials used, how designed and
verified, which performance required,
etc.
