Stochastic Modeling of Building Materials Performance in Durability

Siemes, A. / Vrouwenvelder, A. / Beukel, A.

Abstract The scatter in observed service life of buildings and structures is very high. Designing an optimal structure in relation to the durability is therefore not easy. In this paper, the use of a probabilistic approach is explored as a possible means of addressing service life prediction problems. Essentially the same techniques are used as those which have been proven to be successful as a design tool for ultimate and serviceability limit states without deterioration effects. As an example, an outdoor gallery slab, made of reinforced concrete, is analyzed for the limit state of corrosion of the reinforcement. The analysis provides insight into the relative importance of parameters involved. Furthermore, a cost optimisation is performed including building costs and expected maintenance and repair costs.
