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.

Predictive and Optimised Life-Cycle Management sets out methodologies to meet the demands of the current trend towards sustainable civil engineering and building. Encompassing all aspects of construction practice, from design through to demolition and the recycling of materials, Sarja provides tools for optimal property-value protection, including a description of an integrated and predictive Life-Cycle Maintenance and Management Planning System (LMS), which employs a wide range of techniques. Clear and practical, this guide provides effective methodology required to change a reactive system of management to a predictive one, which will benefit practitioners and students involved in construction, from the architect to local and government authorities; from design engineers to facility managers.

This book describes how the life and faith of his parents influenced the author in his early years until he finally asked the Lord to enter his life, reinforced by his wife’s faith, and followed by a lifetime of blessings and miracles. It describes how his family survived the Second World War in the Philippines and the years that followed as he went through medical school where he met his wife and the years of training that resulted in their both taking over the hospital founded by his parents. It describes how he and his family received scholarships for further studies in the US and how he started a career in international health programs and management training workshops in all continents for twenty years, finally founding an accredited MBA program in Fullerton, California. It describes how he learned about what the purpose of health care should be, and that is to help people live a healthy life and how they can achieve it. It describes how he and his wife finally returned to the Philippines and how he applied what he learned in the hospital and college and in hospital management workshops in all continents. ***** His autobiography is one substantial storytelling that offers a front seat to the nuanced and textured narration of the evolution of the dignified medical doctor, sought-after hospital management educator and practitioner, author, world health policy influencer, and dedicated family man. I’m a believer of the concept that good leadership starts with personal leadership based on integrity and other values. The autobiography clearly shows that what Lorma espouses as central to its culture—love of God, respect for the individual, and continuous improvement mirror the personal values and leadership foundation of Dr. Rufi. It was evident in the book that God was placed in the center of Dr. Rufi’s life, and every milestone, he always attributed to the Lord’s grace. The autobiography is therefore such a blessing to readers who want to be inspired by how God works his miracles on a man destined to lead and inspire. —Noel M. Cortez, PhD Former Associate Dean, Asian Institute of Management If you’re wondering where all the well-lived lives have gone, look no further. This book is for you. —Dave Conner Director of Talent Development, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina At the core of his life is his genuine Christian commitment, doing what he does as a servant of the Savior, putting a human face on God’s compassion for the neediest among us. Read the book. Then thank God for empowering this remarkable man! —Rev. Van C. Elliott San Diego, California

Concise, research-based, and comprehensive, Weight Management for Your Life gives people who struggle with weight control the information and skills needed to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Read this book if you are mildly or moderately overweight, if your weight is in a healthy range and you are concerned about possible future weight gain, or if you don't really know what a desirable weight range should be. This book will help you determine whether you are ready to make a commitment to proactive lifelong weight management and, if not, what actions and decisions might bring you to that point. Follow the "easy action steps" in Chapter 11 and you will be able to say with confidence, "I know what I want to do, and I am doing it!" This book is also recommended for therapists, counselors, and other health professionals who work with people interested in adopting a healthy lifestyle.

If you can ́t choose a book because you ́re tempted to a certain extent by everything, but nothing specific, then you ́ve probably come to the right place. The author of this book is looking for the fabled philosopher ́s stone and perhaps sven the Holy Grail of life management. He searches for inspiration many areas and looks for connections where you wouldn ́t expext to find any. The author states in his book: \"We live in a decadent period of the modern Middle Ages. Blinded by millions of bright screens and phone displays, we live in a time of darkness. We have stopped noticing what is essential. We are hurtling at terrifying speed somewhere, with no idea of the desintation. We need to escape this trap and experience a new Renaissance.\"

Integrated risk management (IRM) is particularly important during the preparation and construction phases of a nuclear power plant (NPP) and anticipates the risks that could arise during the operation and decommissioning phases. This publication is designed to enhance stakeholders' understanding of the fundamental processes, procedures, and methods for IRM. Practical guidelines are provided and best practices shared. The importance of having appropriate risk management policies, especially when considering the various contractual and organizational arrangements in different construction entities, operating organizations and Member States is emphasized. Tables are provided throughout the publication to indicate the causes of risks and their impacts on the applicable NPP or project. Economic evaluation techniques are also introduced. Member States contemplating expanding their existing nuclear power plant fleets can be expected to benefit from this publication, but it will likely be most valuable for Member States newly embarking upon a nuclear power programme.
