Analysis of reinforced concrete beams with corrosion damaged stirrups for shear capacity

Corrosion of embedded carbon steel is a leading factor in deterioration of ageing conventional reinforced concrete structures. Methods to accurately predict remaining capacity of corrosion damaged elements, especially shear capacity, are lacking. In this paper, ACI-AASHTO approach, strut and tie method, modified compression field theory, and Response 2000? were used to predict the shear strength of corrosion damaged and undamaged test beams. The methods were modified to account for the corrosion induced damage to both the concrete section and stirrups. Each of the methods considered, with the proposed modifications, reasonably estimated the remaining shear capacity of large-size laboratory specimens subjected to accelerated corrosion of embedded stirrups.     

Lifetime seismic performance assessment for chloride-corroded reinforced concrete buildings

The main aim of this paper was to build an estimating procedure based on the static nonlinear analysis (pushover analysis) such that structural engineers can evaluate the seismic performance of a deteriorating reinforced concrete (RC) building. For engineers' convenience, this paper suggests the probabilistic deterioration prediction model and the visual estimation of deterioration degree to evaluate corrosion-induced weight loss of reinforcing steel bars. In addition, flexural and shear capacity models for a corroded column or beam are proposed and verified by full-scale corroded beam specimens, allowing engineers to simulate its nonlinear mechanical behaviour. This paper incorporates these mechanical models of corroded members into the static nonlinear analysis to construct a procedure for assessing the seismic performance of a deteriorating RC building. An elementary school at Lanyu Island, Taitung, Taiwan, is used as an example and its lifetime seismic performance is identified utilising the proposed approach.     

Reliability-based design method of suppressing chloride ingress for reinforced concrete buildings located in coastal regions of Taiwan

The main purpose of this work is to propose an estimating procedure that building designers can use to choose methods of suppressing chloride ingress, i.e. concrete-cover thickness, concrete-surface coating and concrete mix (water–cement ratio), for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with a specified durability performance. At first, the authors build equations for estimating airborne chloride concentrations in coastal regions in Taiwan by regressing measurement data. Then, an analytical model incorporates these data into a deterioration model for chloride-induced corrosion and to estimate corrosion of reinforcing steel bars. This work also presents a novel computational procedure to calculate the risk of corrosion for reinforcing steel bars embedded in concrete, while considering uncertainties in environmental conditions, material properties and model error. Using risk curves of corrosion, building designers can set an allowable durable reliability to determine the minimal required concrete-cover thickness for RC members. Finally, this work adopts coastal regions in Taiwan as an example to determine the minimum required concrete-cover thicknesses. Furthermore, reliability-based methods of suppressing chloride ingress for RC buildings are also suggested for each division zone of Taiwan.     

A novel lifetime cost-benefit analysis method for seismic retrofitting of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings

This article presents a novel simplified method for assessing seismic damage to low-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings by using the hazard curve of response spectral acceleration. Moreover, the occurrence of an earthquake is assumed to follow a Poisson process when analysing the occurrence probability of a specified damage state in the remaining service life and expected losses induced by seismic damage. Then, a novel procedure for estimating lifetime costs and benefits of seismic retrofitting is proposed. In the case study, 16 practical design projects for seismic retrofitting of RC school buildings in Taipei are subjected to lifetime cost-benefit analysis using the proposed method. It can be found that not only lifetime cost-benefit ratios but also the financial return period for each dollar invested seismic retrofitting can be identified conveniently. Additionally, they are useful information for making decisions about whether to retrofit a building or not.

Reliability-based service life assessment for deteriorating reinforced concrete buildings considering the effect of cumulative damage

Most engineering systems used in maintenance strategies must consider deterioration and seismic structural damage. To identify the effects of deterioration and earthquakes simultaneously on structural performance, this study applies an integral simulation method. Compared with that of previous studies, the feature of the proposed method is its analysis of the time-dependent structural capacity of a deteriorating reinforced concrete (RC) building and the simulation of life-cycle earthquake events within a specified service period, while considering cumulative damage induced by deterioration and earthquakes. In addition, the proposed assessment method is applied to derive the reliability-based service life of a deteriorating RC building located in a region with high seismic hazard. Briefly, for deteriorating RC buildings, the proposed reliability-based service life assessment method provides useful information related to maintenance based on both serviceability and safety.
