Abstract

Civil Infrastructures are prone to deterioration processes. Amongst others corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures is the main challenge of asset owners worldwide. In this paper using a fracture mechanics based analytical model the corrosion induced crack width is calculated. To account for spatial and temporal variation of concrete properties and environmental factors random fields are utilized. Then extent of damage as a random variable is simulated during lifetime of structure employing Latin Hypercube Sampling. This analysis gives an insight of future condition of these infrastructure upon which maintenance planning can be accomplished more realistically with due respect to extent of damage.
