Abstract

An urgency to use probability-based methods and probabilistic reliability indices in long-term quality assessments and predictions of reinforced concrete products and structures is under consideration. Carbonation nature and depth of protective concrete covers of reinforcement bars and stirrups are analyzed. Effect of water-cement ratio on the carbonation rate of protective concrete covers is discussed. Presented applied equations and the calculation example demonstrate a simplicity and necessities of probability-based methods.
