摘要

In the early 1900’s, waterfront structures often had a dismal effective service life of less than 10 years. This was due to pervasive marine borer infestation of timber components, as well as primitive concrete technology that left concrete components unprotected against sulfate attack. rnModern structures are now routinely designed for service lives of 50 years, 100 years, or even more. It is now common design practice to consciously choose, during the planning and design stage of a project, what the design service life will be. A 35- to 50-year design life may be suitable for a new container wharf that may be functionally obsolete after this period. Conversely, a major new bridge, dam, or breakwater may be designed for a service life of 100 years or more. rnSignificant progress has been made in recent years toward reliably predicting the remaining service life of existing structures. Yet, despite this progress, this science is still in its infancy. This paper outlines the progress made to date, as well as the ongoing research and development aimed at advancing this science to the next level.rn Fundamental to the prediction of remaining service life is the forecasting of deterioration rates. This is inherently difficult since these rates are non-uniform and are dependent upon the complex interaction of many variables. This paper explains the tools and methodologies currently available to the practicing engineer, as well as the research and limitations behind these tools. rnFinally, the paper introduces a new index, referred to as the “Service Reserves Factor” (SRF), which may prove to be a useful tool for the owner as well as the owner’s engineer. The SRF is useful in understanding the remaining service life of a structure relative to other structures, and may be particularly useful in prioritizing maintenance activities.
