The optimal decisions to maintain or improve the reliability and functionality of structures and
infrastructure systems can only be achieved through proper integrated management …

A probabilistic model for chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel in concrete
structures is presented in this work. The main purpose of this model is to simulate the …

This paper provides a brief description of the framework for reliability-based
analysis/assessment of ageing reinforced concrete structures. The main emphasis is made …

For this study, a scaled model test is conducted to investigate the deflection of a laterally
loaded pile and soil deformation in loose sand. An optical experimental setup is developed …

It is well known that the corrosion-induced cracking of reinforced concrete (RC) structures
varies in time and space due to the inherent spatial variability of concrete cover, concrete …

Since reinforced concrete structures are normally exposed to several environmental
stressors during their service life, it is necessary to measure the extent of corrosion of …

In this paper, probabilistic models for structural analysis are put forward, with particular
emphasis on model uncertainty. Context is provided by the finite-element method and the …

This paper presents an analytical model for calculation of corrosion induced stress field and
cracking time of concrete cover with initial defects in a reinforced concrete. In the proposed …

Surrogate model-based reliability analysis aims at building a cheap-to-evaluate
mathematical model as a substitute for the original performance function to enhance …

Visual inspection is the primary technique used in most routine inspections; therefore, it is of
interest to update the safety and reliability assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures …
