In this study, we develop a sophisticated numerical model to analyze the axial tension
behavior of seven-wire steel strands subjected to corrosion by employing the ANSYS finite …

Natural and anthropogenic hazards pose significant risks to individuals and communities.
Over the past few decades, risk and reliability analysis have gone from a specialty topic to a …

Coastal bridges in marine environments suffer from serious corrosion, resulting in the
degradation of the seismic capacity of the structures during the long-term service period …

For performance analysis of deteriorating engineering systems, it is critical to model and
incorporate the various deterioration processes and associated uncertainties. This paper …

Structural reliability is now the leading method in the field of design optimization and
assessment of civil engineering structures since it offers a rational treatment of the …

This chapter proposes a novel general stochastic formulation for the Life-Cycle Analysis
(LCA) of deteriorating engineering systems. The formulation rigorously formalizes the …

An experimental study is proposed in this paper to investigate the effect of insufficient
grouting and strand corrosion on flexural behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) beams …

Reasonable assessment of web cracking probability is essential to ensure the service
performance of corroded prestressed concrete (PC) bridges. In this paper, a time-dependent …
