RISA Method for Evaluating Material Performance Parameters in Long-Life Structural Design under Random Degradation from Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In long-life design of structures, material parameter values should be determined reasonably based on the design working life of the bridge and considering the degradation of the material properties during service. In this ...
Probability Analysis of Duration of Stochastic Process Exceeding Fixed Threshold and Its Application on Structural Cumulative Damage and Fatigue Reliability Evaluation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Based on the stochastic process multiple threshold crossings analysis formula, the impact of structural response random process crossing-threshold duration on structural fatigue reliability is studied, which was not involved ...
Revisiting the Fundamental Concepts of Soil Mechanics Using the General Effective Stress Concept for Saturated Geomaterials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a work to define four fundamental concepts, namely, buoyant force, submerged unit weight, seepage force, and critical hydraulic gradients, for saturated geomaterials including soils, rocks, and concrete ...
Durability Life Prediction of Reinforced Concrete Structure Corroded by Chloride Based on the Gamma Process
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, a new method for durability life prediction of reinforced concrete structures in a chlorine-eroded environment is presented based on the Gamma process. The Gamma process model is established based on the ...
