Considerations for probabilistic assessment of the effect of global warming on durability of corroding RC structures
Résumé
Chloride ingress and carbonation lead to corrosion of reinforcing bars that reduces the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Experimental evidence indicates that carbonation and chloride ingress are highly influenced by the weather conditions of the surrounding environment—i.e., temperature and humidity. According to the Inter- national Panel of Climate Change (IPCC, 2007), several changes in the future climate produced by global warming are expected. Consequently, the effect of global warming on both chloride ingress and carbonation should be considered for a comprehensive management of corroding RC structures. Within this context, the objective of this paper is to describe some considerations for estimating the effect of global warming on durability of corroding RC structures.
