Reliability of Selected Critical Infrastructure Elements
Journal Title: International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper brings an overview of aspect of reliability of selected critical infrastructure elements. Firstly critical infrastructure elements are defined. Extreme loading of such elements and the normative standards are mentioned. The paper brings an overview about a current research connected with critical infrastructure element protection and in conclusions defines new challenges for the research in the problem.
