Development of a Reliability-Based Framework and Empirical Models for Justifying Allowable Chloride Limits and Quantifying Critical Input Variables for Predicting the Service Life of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Creator:

Shakouri Hassanabadi, Mahmoud

Abstract:

Significant progress has been made over the past 20 years in developing models to estimate the service-life of reinforced concrete systems. The basic understandings of the mechanisms that control the transport of ions and moisture in concrete systems have been well researched and models for determining corrosion initiation, specifically chloride-induced...

Seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns constructed with grade 80 reinforcement

Creator:

Link, Tim B.

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis assessed the use of high strength steel (HSS) reinforcement for use in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns. HSS is not currently allowed in reinforced concrete bridge columns due to a lack of information on the material characteristics and performance information when used in RC...
