The corrosion process due to the erosion of chloride ions on reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings is analyzed in this paper. The main objective of this study is to determine the …

Reinforced concrete columns in chloride-laden environments are prone to steel
reinforcement corrosion, which reduces their capacity to resist applied loads. The current …

Compared with FRP flexural strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams, the mechanism
of shear strengthening is complex, and the brittle shear failure is more catastrophic. To …

In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of Fiber
Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials as reinforcing elements in concrete structures due to …

Possessing a more complicated mechanism and catastrophic brittle collapse mode, it is
necessary to investigate the reliability level of design guidelines for concrete structures …

Abstract Evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures which are subjected to the
damaging environmental factors during the service life is critical. The service life model, the …

A time-varying dynamic reliability analysis method based on the generalized probability
density evolution method (GPDEM) is proposed for a concrete gravity dam under seismic …

To investigate the effect of non-uniform corrosion on the seismic performance of reinforced
concrete (RC) frame structures, seven RC frame specimens, including one uncorroded and …

Shear resistance prediction of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally
bonded reinforcements (EBR) is a challenging task due to the complex nature of shear …

The evaluation of service conditions of concrete structures has still been carried out through
implicit knowledge based on the expertise and knowledge of inspectors, who classify …
