Abstract: Corrosion-induced cracks in reinforced concrete (RC) structures degrade the stiffness of the cover concrete. The stiffness degradation is mainly caused by the softening in the stress-strain relation in the cracked concrete. ...

Abstract: Probabilistic models are developed to predict the deformation and shear demands due to seismic excitation on reinforced concrete (RC) columns in bridges with two-column bents. A Bayesian methodology is used to develop the ...
