Research in this thrust will result in significant cost savings through restoring or maintaining existing assets instead of replacing them. The ability to extend the service life of in-service structures safely and reliably will also alleviate a large backlog of projected replacements and their associated costs. Projects will also champion predictive technologies to mitigate infrastructure deterioration and damage.
