- Normalization of Deviance
- In civil engineering, deferred maintenance is accepted because the structure did not fail last year, and "this much corrosion is fine" becomes the new working standard.
This sourceDocuments that roughly half of U.S. bridges (about 49%) sit in "fair" condition - the deferred-maintenance band where serviceable structures degrade because maintenance is repeatedly postponed without failure - aging toward the end of a 50-year design life against a multi-hundred-billion-dollar rehabilitation backlog; the canonical authority for the civil-engineering pattern of deferred maintenance accepted because nothing failed last year.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
