Reliability-based durability assessment of GFRP bars for reinforced concrete
… of a Monte Carlo simulation to assess the durability of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete designed for flexure. The results of this simulation can be used to determine appropriate flexural strength reduction factors. Prior to conducting the simulation, long-term GFRP …

Durability Assessment and Service Life Prediction of Concrete in Extreme Aggressive Environment
… objective of this research is to enhance the durability of newly constructed structural elements by assessing the performance of various concrete mixes for chloride resistance. The study focuses on establishing and developing correlations between chloride diffusion rates and concrete …

The integration of non-destructive test methods in the South African Durability Index approach
In South Africa, the Durability Index (D!) approach is a performance-based method for specifying (or assessing) the durability of RC [reinforced concrete] structures. The oxygen permeability index (OPI) test is being standardised in South Africa, and has been implemented in a large scale project by …

Finite Element Modeling Of Tire-Terrain Dynamic Interaction For Full Vehicle Simulation Applications
… latter case, tire dynamic models are used for durability assessment of the vehicle chassis, and should be studied using high fidelity simulation models. In this study, a threedimensional finite element model (FEM) of the 16 inch TMPT Tire has been developed using the commercial software package …

Practical application of the torrent permeability test method with the South African durability index approach
Tests that assess the potential durability of concrete offer robust evaluation approaches for predicting its performance. The South African Durability Index Approach (SADIA) and the Torrent method are used in South Africa and Switzerland, respectively, to assess the potential concrete durability of …

Modelización del deterioro de tableros de puentes de hormigón por difusión de cloruros y corrosión de la armadura pasiva
… enormous. Hence, investigations relating to the durability assessment of concrete structures have shown a substantial increase in the last years. However, many factors involved in the corrosion process remain poorly understood. In spite of significant progress in predicting models, the estimation …
