Life-cycle asset protection and management represents a crucial, interconnected component in the decision-making process for sustainable infrastructure. Developing sustainable infrastructure entails not only the construction of new projects but also the protection and rehabilitation of existing structures. This presentation highlights our latest progress in both fundamental and applied research on fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass exchange in porous media, as well as their applications in safeguarding infrastructure, such as enhancing the corrosion and fire resistance of construction materials. The development of inventive protection strategies, including bioinspired materials, is also discussed Furthermore, this presentation also showcases our recent advancements in structural health monitoring for transportation infrastructure through cutting-edge non-destructive testing techniques like infrared thermography, interferometric radar, and unmanned vehicles. As we witness massive shifts in the maintenance of assets for the future, these changes call for an array of innovative research and engineering efforts.
