TLDR
In this paper, a time-variant probabilistic model was presented to predict expected costs of repair and replacement which was then used to calculate life-cycle costs for reinforced concrete (RC) structures in marine environments under different exposure conditions.About:

Environmental impact and life cycle assessment (LCA) of traditional and ‘green’ concretes: Literature review and theoretical calculations
P. Van den Heede,N. De Belie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the available literature on every step in the LCA of concrete and found that the adopted functional unit for which the environmental impact is calculated, influences the outcome significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change impact and risks of concrete infrastructure deterioration
TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic and reliability-based approach was described to predict the probability of corrosion initiation and damage for concrete infrastructure subjected to carbonation and chloride-induced corrosion resulting from elevated CO2 levels and temperatures.

Life cycle costing: a review of published case studies
Eric Korpi,Timo Ala-Risku +1 more
TL;DR: This paper aims to review reports on LCC applications to provide an overview of LCC uses and implementation feasibility and highlights the difficulty of conducting a reliable LCC analysis, and points out typical problems that should be carefully considered before drawing conclusions from the L CC analysis.

Spatial time-dependent reliability analysis of corroding pretensioned prestressed concrete bridge girders
TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic model of pitting corrosion for strands is combined with a non-linear Finite Element Analysis and probablistic models of corrosion initiation and propagation to study the spatial and temporal effects of Pitting corrosion on a typical pretensioned prestressed concrete bridge girder.

Structural reliability of concrete bridges including improved chloride-induced corrosion models
Kim Anh T. Vu,Mark G. Stewart +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural deterioration reliability (probabilistic) model has been used to calculate probabilities of structural failure, and three durability design specifications are considered in a lifetime reliability analysis of a RC slab bridge.

The presentation of the chloride threshold level for corrosion of steel in concrete
Gareth K. Glass,Nick R. Buenfeld +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been argued that presenting the chloride threshold level as a free chloride content or chloride to hydroxyl concentration ratio in the pore solution of concrete is an improvement over the more commonly used total chloride content.

Structural Safety and Serviceability of Concrete Bridges Subject to Corrosion
TL;DR: In this article, a structural reliability analysis model was developed to evaluate probabilities of structural and serviceability failures for flexure and spalling limit states, for a typical reinforced concrete bridge continuous slab.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcement corrosion and the durability of concrete bridges.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used site investigation tests to locate corroding reinforcement, determine its type and causes, and estimate its rate, thus providing the information required to specify repairs.
