Concrete degradation

Ebook "Durability design of concrete structures: Report of RILEM technical committee 130-CSL" is the first systematic attempt to introduce into structural design a general theory of structural reliability and existing calculation models for common degradation processes. It covers both the theoretical background and practical design for service life and includes worked examples which highlight the application of the design procedure and methods.

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the tensile strength degradation in curved glass and carbon reinforcement of TRC specimens. The results show that the ultimate tensile load decreases as the diameter of the semi-circle parts reduce. At the same diameter, the carbon TRC specimens have a higher tensile load-bearing capacity than glass textile-reinforced concrete.

The ion fluence induced swelling was found to be different with different ions depending on irradiation parameters. By converting the ion fluence to displacement per atom (dpa), the critical dpa for swelling was determined to be about 0.04 dpa, corresponds deposited energy of 2eV/atom.

The aim of the work "Stochastic service life prediction of RC girders subjected to chloride induced corrosion – Shear limit state" presented in this thesis is service life prediction of corroded reinforced concrete girders, which forms an important part of durability design. The scope of this work is limited to shear limit state considering the chloride induced corrosion of reinforcement as the degradation mechanism. The review of literature shows that the service life estimation of reinforced concrete bridges exposed to marine environment is an active area of research.
