Abstract: This paper briefly reviews the two complementary descriptions of a dynamical system in its phase space as follows: (1) The Lagrangian point-of-view (leading to either a Monte Carlo simulation or a Gibbs set evolution study); ...

Abstract: This paper presents a general approach to the probabilistic prediction of the structural service life and to the maintenance planning of deteriorating concrete structures. The proposed formulation is based on a novel ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of durability analysis and lifetime assessment of concrete structures under the diffusive attack from external aggressive agents. The proposed formulation mainly refers ...
