Partial Safety Factor for the Design Strength Prediction of Naturally Corroded Prestressing Strands
ICASP14; Franceschini, Lorenzo; Botte, Wouter; Caspeele, Robby; Belletti, Beatrice; Tondolo, Francesco; Sánchez, Javier (2023)Existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are often affected by corrosion triggering high annual maintenance costs and impairing their safety, durability and serviceability. Although scientific studies have ... -
QUANTIFYING UNCERTAINTIES IN THE PERFORMANCE PREDICTION OF EXISTING CONCRETE STRUCTURES USING AN EXTENDED DIRECT STIFFNESS METHOD APPROACH
ICASP14; Caspeele, Robby; Verstrynge, Els; Botte, Wouter; Van Den Hende, Karel; Helderweirt, Stef (2023)Reinforced concrete structures are widely used in many industrialized countries. Currently, significant parts of the patrimony in these regions are reaching the end of their lifetime. As a result, the through-life analysis ... -
Time-Dependent Reliability Calculations Approximated by a Lower and Upper Bound Method to Determine Time-To-Failure Curve for Optimization of Interventions
Van Den Hende, Karel; Lombaert, Geert; Matthys, Stijn; Botte, Wouter; ICASP14; Helderweirt, Stef; Caspeele, Robby (2023)The optimization of the timing of repair interventions on civil engineering structures is ideally based on the minimization of the total life-cycle cost. An important part of the total life-cycle cost is the expected failure ...
