Answer to Question #237348 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for Jsd

Question

10. Should design life be the same as return period for design conditions?

Answer 1

Design life entails the lowest duration a structure is predictable to last. The lengthier is the design life; the complex is the price of a project. Hence, design life might not be equivalent to the reappearance period of design circumstances since their assortments are grounded on diverse considerations.
