RELIABILITY AND RISK FUNCTION FOR DETERIORATED STRUCTURES

Some important stochastic degradation models are reviewed and the methods for determining relevant reliability characteristics are given. The concepts for updating reliability characteristics by inspection results are reviewed. Two examples, one for carbonation of concrete and subsequent spalling of the concrete cover due to corrosion and another for load-induced fatigue illustrate the methodology. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 858334. The French title of this paper is:- Fiabilite et risque des structures endommagees. The German title of this paper is:- Zuverlaessigkeit und Risikofunktion geschaedigter Bauteile.
