Abstract

The contribution focuses on the effect of selected input parameters on probabilistic estimation of chloride induced reinforced concrete bridge deck corrosion initiation. The reinforced concrete bridge deck with steel protected by epoxy-coating is considered. A finite element diffusion model in conjunction with a probabilistic method using Monte Carlo technique is used to address the inherited randomness of input variables. Presented parametric study shows the sensitivity of estimation of the corrosion initiation likelihood on variation of input parameters.
