About
Peter Starke is a leading researcher in structural engineering, with a primary focus on the assessment and management of ageing bridge infrastructure. His most-cited work, "Approaching the assessment of ageing bridge infrastructure" (2015), has garnered 10 citations and addresses a critical global challenge: the deteriorating state of bridges in industrialized nations. Starke’s major contribution lies in developing frameworks to quantify the remaining life and safety of these vital assets, where often little reliable data exists. By highlighting the economic and safety risks of ageing infrastructure, his research provides engineers and policymakers with practical tools for prioritising inspections, repairs, and replacements. His work is particularly impactful in the context of aging transport networks, where bridge failures can have catastrophic consequences. Starke’s research bridges the gap between theoretical structural analysis and real-world asset management, making him a key voice in infrastructure sustainability. His achievements include advancing probabilistic assessment methods that account for uncertainty in material degradation and load demands, directly informing maintenance strategies for aging bridges worldwide.
