This paper is aimed at presenting an application of the extended finite element method to the time variable in the framework of dynamic crack propagation. We take advantage of the partition of the unity properties of finite elements and use an enriched basis of shape functions in space as well as time. To solve the problem in time, we use a weak formulation including a continuity condition for the velocity. It allows to model mechanical problems with space and time discontinuities. Applications to dynamic crack growth simulation are presented.

<p>While concrete structures perform well in many situations, lack of durability has emerged as a significant issue for asset owners. A review of past bridge failures was done to identify the most probable causes of bridge failures. This study has tended to focus on current models used for estimating the time to deterioration of concrete bridges instigated by Chloride ingress and Fatigue. Subsequently, mathematical modelling of the best-suited deterioration model is done to arrive at the residual life of two existing bridges. This work has highlighted high variability in the parameters used to describe the durability related properties of in-situ aged concrete. A realistic residual life assessment can be achieved by correct evaluation of these parameters by periodic testing of bridge samples</p>

This paper discusses different methods for calculating the residual life for boiler pressure components operating under creep conditions, based on tube outside diameter strain measurements. These measurements were made for over 20 yr. The methods have been applied to the residual life calculation for pipelines of 20 or more years of service. Then the results have been compared.
