Hierarchical Life-Cycle Design of Concrete Structures
Concrete structures’ service life lasts decades. In order to deal with all the probable degradations and deteriorations in the whole life span, the concept of concrete structures’ Life-Cycle Design was introduced into China in the 1980s. However, until this day, Life-Cycle Design is still more of a concept to most structure designers and engineers, rather than a practical method. This paper pro...
متن کاملIntegrated Life-Cycle Assessment and Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Model for Concrete Bridge Deck Applications
An integrated life-cycle assessment and life-cycle cost analysis model was developed and applied to enhance the sustainability of concrete bridge infrastructure. The objective of this model is to compare alternative bridge deck designs from a sustainability perspective that accounts for total life-cycle costs including agency, user, and environmental costs. A conventional concrete bridge deck a...
متن کاملTowards practical carbonation prediction and modelling for service life design of reinforced concrete structures
Amongst the scientific community, the interest on durability of concrete structures has been high for quite a long time of over 40 years. Of the various causes of degradation of concrete structures, corrosion is the most widespread durability problem and carbonation is one of the two causes of steel reinforcement corrosion. While much scientific understanding has been gained from the numerous c...
متن کاملLife-cycle Cost Design of Deteriorating Structures
A lifetime optimization methodology for planning the inspection and repair of structures that deteriorate over time is introduced and illustrated through numerical examples. The optimization is based on minimizing the expected total life-cycle cost while maintaining an allowable lifetime reliability for the structure. This method incorporates: (a) the quality of inspection techniques with diffe...
متن کاملValidation model for service life prediction of concrete structures
Most bridges in the highways of the Netherlands are designed to last 80 years. In those 80 years only minor damage should be repaired. To determine the repair strategy of these minor damages the so-called Lifetime Extending Maintenance model can be used. This model is a condition model, which has been used for many materials like paint on steel [1]. In this paper we will show an application of ...
