Description
The assessment of deterioration and aging of concrete structures, more commonly by reinforcement corrosion, is not considered in present structural codes or standards. There are some Guidelines, Manuals and research but there are not an accepted methodology and models that could be used by engineers.
The fib-SAG 'Assessment of Existing Structures'and Rilem TC-213- MAI 'Model assisted integral service life prediction of concrete structures with respect to reinforcement corrosion', are both dealing with different, but complementary, aspects related to modelling of corroding structures.
The fib SAG is starting to gather information in order to propose a Model Code on Assessing Existing Structures, while TC-213 has, as one of the goals, to make a State of the Art on the existing structural models for corroding structures.
Both Committees plan to hold this Workshop for the needed critical discussion on the main topics of the area.
Papers are invited on research in this area, including:
1. Models of corrosion evolution.
2. Environmental action effects on reinforcement corrosion.
3. Modeling of the effect on corrosion in the structural performance.
4. Probabilistic analysis of corroding structure.
5. Safety formats for corroding structures.
6. Probabilistic and (secular) no probabilistic models [and partial safety factors] for the corrosion onset and for the structural performance of corroding structures.
7. Optimization of probability of failure by corrosion.
