This volume is based upon the proceedings of an international seminar when a group of experts addressed the common goal of predicting the life of structures by interpreting their own special knowledge as part of a design process. 51 papers are reproduced together with written discussion and commentaries. The subjects covered which are related to the life of structures are: basic principles of design and assessment, structural environments, materials and test methods, nuclear and special structures, bridges, the performance of populations of structures. Together these represent a state-of-the-art examination of design for durability in the built environment.
