Probabilistic fatigue life prediction for concrete bridges using Bayesian inference

Abstract: A probabilistic fatigue life prediction framework for concrete bridges is proposed in this study that considers the stress history from the construction stage to the operation stage. The proposed fatigue analysis framework combines the fatigue crack growth-based material life prediction model and a nonlinear structural analysis method. A reliability analysis is proposed using the developed probabilistic model to consider various uncertainties associated with the fatigue damage. A Bayesian network is establishe… Show more

“…e more aggregates, the larger the area of the interface transition zone between the aggregate and the slurry, and since the porosity of the slurry is large, the permeability of the concrete is improved. Adding mineral binds, such as fly ash, slag, and silica ash, will greatly improve the structure of the hole and the interface transition zone so that the permeability of the concrete is greatly reduced [7]. In addition, construction and maintenance conditions directly affect the quality of concrete in the surface area, and the region is a key area affecting durability.…”

“…ϕ 22 = 0.6, ϕ 12 = 0, ϕ 23 = 0.6, ϕ 13 = 0, ϕ 24 = 0.6, and ϕ 14 = 0 can be determined. Incorporate the mean and SD of Figure 14 into Equation (22) and MATLAB plots the failure graphs of S(t 1 ), S(t 2 ), S(t 3 ) and S(t 4 ), as shown in Figure 15 The reliability functions of steel bar corrosion, concrete crack development and quality loss, and organic coating degradation are shown in Figure 15a-d. In Figure 15a, it can be seen that the initial reliability of ω 1 was 0.94, indicating that the coated steel bars are corroded at the beginning because the salt solution passes through the coating and corrodes them.…”

“…This analysis provides an assessment that reduces the number of inspection techniques necessary and the time interval between inspections, providing not only the best, but also the most effective solution. Yuan [22] proposed a probabilistic fatigue life prediction framework for concrete bridges considering the stress history from the construction phase to the operational phase. The proposed fatigue analysis framework combines the material life prediction model based on fatigue crack propagation with the nonlinear structure analysis method.…”

“…Theoretical simulation of bottom plate failure during prestressing is complex. Accurate and efficient modelling of prestressing effect as well as nonlinear failure process analysis is desirable [39,40]. Cracking is common in reinforced concrete (RC) bridges and other structures, but is not necessarily harmful.…”
