This
field focuses directly on the various civil engineering means by which
the country can deal with the matter of deteriorating built
infrastructure. The main components of the field are structural
engineering, construction materials and pavements, and construction
project management. These components constitute a program that covers a
variety of engineering disciplines and advanced technologies that make
it possible to improve the performance of infrastructure elements in
terms of their durability; the time, cost, and ease of their
construction; and their ability to withstand a wide range of
environmental load and operating conditions.
