Study of Durability Analysis and Evaluation Model for Existing Concrete Structure in Coastal Areas

Abstract:

This article put forward the durability state analysis method for existing concrete structure based on the step analysis theory and environmental load feature of east coast in China. Considering the process of both concrete degradation and steel corrosion, this article also established the residual life prediction model of existing concrete structure, based on a whole life prospective period. The model was successfully applied to evaluate the durability state and residual life of certain existing concrete structures, including dock structure in Hangzhou Bay and matching construction of Expo, 2010.
