Abstract
Toward the sustainable society, the long service-life of infrastructure is going to be an evolutional target. Aging problems and damages due to natural disasters in concrete structures have updated the urgent demand for continuing maintenance of the structures in service. Because this issue is critical for the sustainable infrastructure, the target of maintenance should be shifted from diagnosis to prognosis. Consequently, we set up the technical committee JCI-TC-125FS on Feasibility of Establishment of Infra-Dock for Concrete Structures establishment, where the term of infra-docks is so-called as referring to “the ningen dock”. Based on the achievements in this committee, concept and contents of the infra-dock for concrete structures are briefly summarized.
