An Investigation into the Prioritization of Air Force Civil Engineering Structural Maintenance Decisions

摘要

This thesis investigated the prioritization of Air Force Civil Engineering structural maintenance decisions. The analysis compared the existing engineering literature on structural deterioration and maintenance with the actual decisions made by Air Force decision makers. The existing engineering on structural maintenance always seems to assume that a decision maker has unlimited resources at his disposal, which is usually not the case with Air Force Civil Engineering. This thesis investigated the relative importance of a range of structural problems and developed scoring models for the prioritization of structural maintenance actions. (Author)
