ABOUT THE COURSE
It is needless to say that the maintenance/repair/renewal of infrastructures plays an inevitable task on stabilization of national life, not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. However, the limitation on budget allocated for the maintenance/repair/renewal of infrastructures requires socio-economic concept in addition to engineering knowledge. In order to copy with difficulties mentioned above, the introduction of infrastructure asset management concept, which deals with the issue of optimizing the maintenance/repair/renewal of infrastructures comprehensively, has been highlighted even in developing countries. So far, the typical example is the implementation of HDM-4 (Highway Design and Management) on pavement management. However, road facilities consist of bridges, embankment/slopes and tunnels, in addition to pavement. Therefore, the development of asset management system to other road structures as well as pavement will be required in a near future.
From such a viewpoint, this course is aimed at providing fundamental concept and/or knowledge associated with infrastructure asset management and results of application, particularly focusing on road facilities consisting of pavements, embankment/slopes and tunnels.
Moreover, this course also is the extension of the previous ones held in Hanoi in September, 2005 and September, 2006.
