- Summary:
- FITNESS FOR SERVICE is a term used by Wells [1] in the early 1960s to describe the actual safety or reliability of a structure at a given time. It takes account of the actual stresses, flaw sizes, material toughness, service conditions, et cetera in a realistic manner so that the fitness for continued service of an existing structure can be established on a rational basis. It has also been referred to as common sense engineering [2] and serves as the basis for a decision as to the life extension of an existing structure.
