Accounting For The Mutual Influence Of Defects On The Technical Condition Category Of Structures
Abstract
During service life, various defect types within a single structural element may adversely affect the propagation rate of adjacent defects, accelerating their progression toward critical dimensions. This synergistic defect interaction facilitates structural deterioration, potentially leading to failure states. This research establishes the boundaries of interaction zones between proximate defects affecting load-bearing capacity, examining reinforced concrete beams as representative critical flexural members. The investigation considers the combined effects of reinforcement corrosion reducing bar cross-sectional area and concrete section loss in the compression zone.
