However, physical civil Infrastructure often deteriorates with time leading to reduction in overall infrastructure performance. Furthermore, rapid deterioration and shortage of funds for maintenance and rehabilitation necessities adoption of efficient Infrastructure Asset Management practices to safeguard Infrastructure assets. This course introduces the concept of Infrastructure assets and need for their effective management. The objective of the course is to safeguard and extend the intended life of an Infrastructure asset by developing, organizing and implementing suitable management strategies. Through suitable case studies the course highlights how integrated infrastructure management frameworks can be utilized for maximizing Infrastructure performance and reducing overall costs. Intended audience: • Final year and graduate students of all engineering disciplines• Practicing professionals, including policy makers, client (owner organizations, such as NHAI)• Though the course is essentially directed towards engineers, professionals with other backgrounds engaged in policy making and administration or governance of infrastructure would also not find the contents difficult to follow Prerequisites: None – a background (or even interest) in the approach to design of structural systems, operation and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railway systems (including rolling stock), industrial systems, would be enough to follow the material covered ## Lectures 1.
