Reinforced concrete bridge deck reliability model incorporating temporal and spatial variations of probabilistic corrosion rate sensor data

Life-cycle maintenance of deteriorating structures by multi-objective optimization involving reliability, risk, availability, hazard and cost

“…The bridge failure modes, considered in the following sections for computational purposes, are briefly described herein; further details can be found in [Akgül 2002, Marsh andFrangopol 2008]. For illustrative purposes, the reinforced concrete end span of the bridge, whose cross-section is shown in Figure 1(a), has been modeled as a series-parallel system so that the failure occurs when either the deck or two consecutive girders fail (Figure 1(b)).…”

Imperfect inspection characterization for gamma process structural deterioration model

“…For random variable models see (Yang et al, 2006, Cheung et al, 2010, Marsh & Frangopol, 2008, Li, 2003. However, owing to the lack of failure data a random variable approach solely to represent deterioration process is unsatisfactory.…”

Investigation of the Spatial Variability of Steel Weight Loss and Corrosion Cracking: A Novel X-ray Technique

“…Recently, efforts have been made to estimate the long-term structural performance of deteriorated RC structures by using probabilistic concepts and methods (Marsh & Frangopol, 2008;Mori & Ellingwood, 1993). However, limited amounts of experimental data on the relationship between the spatial variability of steel weight loss and surface crack widths have been reported, creating difficulties in improving the degree of accuracy of the prediction models (Akiyama, Frangopol, & Yoshia, 2010).…”
