Duracrete – Probabilistic Performance Based Durability Design of Concrete Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
The presented project is a first attempt to make probabilistic performance based durability designs of concrete structures. The performance based durability design is based upon realistic models that describes the future behaviour of the concrete and the environment. To make calculations it is necessary to quantify the parameters included in the chosen models. In this paper two models that describes the behaviour of concrete are presented and it is shown how the environmental parameters in the models are statistically quantified.

Chloride ion ingress is one of the major problems that affect the durability of reinforced concrete structures such as bridge decks, concrete pavements, and other structures exposed to harsh saline environments. Therefore, durability based design of concrete structures in marine areas has gained great significance in recent decades and various mathematical models for estimating the service life...
متن کاملA novel durability design approach for new cementitious materials: Modelling chloride ingress in strain-hardening cement-based composites
To fully utilise the advantageous durability properties of new cementitious materials such as fibre-reinforced Strain-Hardening Cement-based Composites (SHCC), a performance-based durability design approach is required. For crack-free ordinary concrete first promising concepts exist, e.g. the DuraCrete model. However, the parameters of these models, which were quantified for ordinary concrete, ...
متن کاملImproving durability through probabilistic design
In order to obtain a more controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing environment special care is needed in the design phase of reinforced concrete structures. The recent development of probability-based procedures has proven to give a more realistic basis for both durability design and condition assessment of reinforced concrete structures. Alt...
متن کاملCalibration of Load and Resistance Factors for Reinforced Concrete
Current approach for designing of reinforced concrete members is based on the load and resistance factor. However the load and resistance parameters are random variables, the constant values have been designated for them in the designing procedure. Assuming these factors as the constants, will be led to the unsafe and uneconomical designs. Safe designing of structures requires appropriate recog...

Background and objective: Experience with past earthquakes and numerical analysis confirms that the durability of strong earth motion, significantly can affect the amount of failure of civil engineering systems. However, if the durability is related to a parameter which describes the intensity of the earth's motion, such as maximum velocity or maximum acceleration or spectral acceleration, then...
