A Probabilistic Framework for Performance-Based Durability Engineering
A proposed probabilistic framework for performance-based durability engineering links uncertainty in exposure, deterioration, and repair to estimations of decision information based on economic, environmental and social sustainability. This information includes costs, environmental impacts, downtime, and safety. The assessment of a new or existing structure or structural element is completed in three separate stages of analysis, allowing flexibility in choice of models and assumptions. An example simulation analyzes the energy required for repair of a reinforced concrete structure subjected to carbonation and corrosion. It is shown that the framework can be used to determine the strategy minimizing the lifetime repair energy of the structure.
