  Summary

  The Project focus is on analysis of Marine Environment Damage to Atlantic Coast Heritage Structures. Research performed in the Department of Civil Engineering will focus on time dependent material deterioration models and incorporation of these models into a reliability analysis framework. It is intended at the end of the project to provide structure owners/managers with a rigorous decision tool, which will facilitate optimization of maintenance budgets through reliability based asset maintenance management. http://medachs.univ-lr.fr/MEDACHS.htm
