Durability of Critical Infrastructure, Monitoring and Testing

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

The protection of critical infrastructure is not only the question of their resilience but in a technical point of view, it is a question of protection of function of particular objects of critical infrastructure. This protection of objects depends on possible threats which are heavily to determine, one of possible way is to use commonly agreed procedures like e.g. STANAG 2280. Possibilities in assessment of structures facing to attack are described and examples of simulation are given.
