ASSESSING THE ROLE OF LIMIT STATE SELECTION IN THE DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE OF SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE STRUCTURES
Abstract eng: Limit states are a central component of probabilistic structural design theory. However, numerous technical limit states for the end of life can be defined for a deteriorating concrete structure ranging from the material-scale to the structural-scale. Applying a range of limits of deterioration for a concrete structure leads to an analogous range of life cycle environmental impacts. Therefore, it could be argued that the definition of an appropriate limit state for deteriorating concrete structures should be made considering both structural safety and overall sustainability. This paper numerically explores the relationship between limit state definition and concrete structure sustainability.
