Reliability-based Life Cycle Assessment of Concrete Slab in Bridges

By Saeed Kia

To guarantee the safety and serviceability of present bridges maintenance are essential all around the Globe and most governments' budget effect by overhaul such-infrastructures yearly without any rate of interest in these maintenance. A large proportion of costs are allocated for maintenance costs due to the increasing number of present bridges. Maintenance also have a substantial effect on economic and sustainable development. In this study, a durability reliability analysis of reinforced concrete slabs subject to the action of deterioration during the life cycle of bridges is presented. This book is focused on providing insight into the role of reliability lifecycle assessment in One Century of bridge maintenance cost performance by two reliability factors in the monitoring of 150 points of Modeled Bridge. The first factor in this model is crack size expansion about the time scale of the concrete deck by consideration of concrete deterioration. The second factor is the reliability of the compaction ratio of concrete based on the probability that this factor will perform as intended for 1 century duration under normal conditions.
