Timber-concrete composite system is increasing the use of timber in construction because some structures could not be built by timber alone, but it becomes possible with this composite system. The deterioration of structures in service is generally uncertain over time, therefore the appropriate approach for the structural analysis is a time-dependent reliability analysis that considers the randomness and uncertainties of deterioration process over a time period. This paper describes two methods for time dependent reliability analysis, random variable deterioration rate model and gamma process model, and compares the deterioration prediction as well as service life estimation of timber-concrete composite beams under normal use based on proposed models.

Infrastructure Failure

<p>During recent years, the possibility that damage at the time of earthquake could change depending on the deterioration condition of infrastructure has been noted through analytical calculations. Faced with such a possibility, management policy should be optimized by internalizing the external elements of earthquake damage, evaluating the appropriateness of management policy for infrastructure, and optimizing the system. In this study, the deterioration process for infrastructure was modelled using the Markov process model, and a methodology to determine the optimal management policy is proposed by considering the two risks: i) the risk that infrastructure fails because of deterioration independent of external factors such as an earthquake, and ii) the risk of infrastructure failure at the time of earthquake, which changes due to deterioration of the infrastructure. In an example of the application, it is demonstratively shown that the optimal management policy would change in the case where earthquake risk is not considered.</p>

Using an example of the application the following two points are demonstratively shown: i) the optimal management policy would change in the case in which earthquake risk is not considered, and ii) the optimal management policy would change depending on the earthquake occurrence probability in the case in which earthquake risk is considered.

The Way

A rationale for the application of a stage process model for the language-disordered child is presented. The major behaviors of the communicative system (pragmatic-semantic-syntactic-phonological) are summarized and organized in stages from pre-linguistic to the adult level. The article provides clinicians with guidelines, based on complexity, for the content and sequencing of communicative behaviors to be used in planning remedial programs.
