Original Abstract

The future requirements on faster and automated construction, improved life-cycle performance and sustainability of infrastructure in general increasingly promote the use of fastening technology. This paper addresses the concept of lifecycle robustness by introducing an ensemble of technical and management measures, covering the entire life span from design, construction, operation and decommissioning. Although a significant research on robustness and performance indicators has been performed in related areas, such as bridges or nuclear power plants, a framework for the quantification of lifecycle robustness of fastening systems is still not available. The presented proposals are based on the synthesis of theoretical and technological progress, established engineering design approaches and communication procedures, and experimental evidence, all originating from in-house research and industrial partners. Rather than discussing particular technical aspects, this paper focuses on the uncertainty management and hazard mitigation policies through the entire life span of the fastening systems.
