Effect of cumulative seismic damage and corrosion on the life-cycle cost of reinforced concrete bridges.

Bridge design should take into account not only safety and functionality, but also the cost effectiveness of investments throughout a bridge life-cycle. This paper presents a probabilistic approach to compute the life-cycle cost (LCC) of corroding reinforced concrete (RC) bridges in earthquake-prone...
