Abstract:The structural life of a reinforced concrete beam has previously been defined by several stages which include loading of an intact structure to the serviceability stage, corrosion, load reduction before repair procedures, removal of contaminated concrete, patch repair and finally strengthening. Numerical simulations of this service life cycle without strengthening, where time-dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage were included in the constitutive models, were carried out using the phased analysis in th… Show more
