Uncertainty Analysis of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Structures

In this paper, a new methodology is presented to study the corrosion of RC structures inchloride laden environments under concerned uncertainties. To deal with the involveduncertainties, fuzzy random variables are exploited. An effective computational procedurenamed as α-level optimization is also introduced and utilized to analysis the FR fundamentalequations of corrosion process. The proposed system is applied to predict the various lifecycles of corrosion affected RC structures. Moreover, an illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of proposed method in service life assessment of the RCbeams.
