TARGETED PARTICIPANTS
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. Risk management is also one key topic of the course.
Moreover, this course also is the extension of the previous ones held in Hanoi in 2005, 2006, 2007 and in Ho Chi Minh in 2008.
TARGETED PARTICIPANTS
This course welcomes to researchers and engineers who wish to develop an understanding of Infrastructure Asset Management. However, the maximum number of participants in this course is 30. Therefore, the participants who have the knowledge of some mathematic theory such as probabilistic, which is inevitable to evaluate life cycle cost, LCC, are expected. However, it is possible for some other people especially students to participate wholly or partly in the course as audiences.
LANGUAGE
The official language of the course is English.
CONTENTS OF THE COURSE
Contents of the course are summarized as follows:
- Outline of Asset Management
- Basic Concept of Life Cycle Cost, Life Cycle Cost Analysis
- UApplication -Pavement, Slope/Embankment, Bridge, and Tunnel
- Monitoring System
- Risk Management
BENEFITS OF THE COURSE
Benefits of the course are summarized as follows:
- Understanding concepts and basic theory of Infrastructure Asset Management
- Obtaining the fundamental knowledge to design and analyze road facilities consisting of pavements, slopes/embankments, bridges and tunnels using LCC considering cost and benefit as decision-making index
- Understanding how to manage risks in general as well as in construction and operation periods of infrastructure facilities
- Understanding how to apply the knowledge in practice
- Qualified participants will be conferred the certificates
