Analysis of Some Reliability Measures of a Deteriorating Reinforced Concrete Structure
Abstract
In this paper, we study the reliability and availability characteristics of two-stage deterioration reinforce concrete structure .Failure and repair times are assumed exponential. The explicit expressions of reliability and availability characteristics such as mean time to system failure (MTSF), steady-state availability and busy period are derived using Kolmogorov forward equations method. Various cases are analyzed graphically to investigate the impact of system parameters on MTSF, availability and busy period
Keywords: Reliability, deterioration, reinforce concrete
