Includes bibliographical references. The purpose of this study was to create a framework for the development of a probabilistic model for durability design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in South African marine conditions. Durability design of RC structures is mainly concerned with ensuring the ability of the concrete to resist the penetration of aggressive agents during the concrete‘s intended service life. RC structures in the marine environment may be attacked by aggressive chloride ions which penetrate concrete mainly through the diffusion mechanism. The chloride ions accumulate at the steel level and, upon reaching a critical concentration, cause corrosion to initiate which if not intercepted leads to the eventual deterioration of the entire structure. 2014-07-31T10:26:33Z 2014-07-31T10:26:33Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5020 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
