Residual Life Predication of Reinforced Concrete Elements Based on Time-Varying Reliability

Article Preview

Abstract:

Scientific prediction the residual life of existing reinforced concrete elements is an important basis for assessment the structures. The resistance probabilistic density function of reinforced concrete elements was proposed by analyzing the random processes of resistance attenuation of concrete and steel bars. Since the factors of concrete durability damaged and materials deterioration , considered practical conditions of service structures and durability failure criteria of concrete members, a method of calculation the residual life was given, which is verified reasonable through the engineering case.
