Fig. 6 Limits of crack widths in the reinforced concrete test element for limiting increases in
corrosive volume strains determined using the Monte Carlo in f
ε V
and sup
ε V
methods,
together with the map of scratches, diagrams A and B
of reinforcement. The suggested scheme of procedure should be regarded as the
indicative approach. The function of distribution of probability density, which should
be experimentally determined, is crucial for such calculations. This paper describes
the approach to determine the interval as the lower inf(w) and upper sup(w) bounds,
at which cracks of specified width can appear over the function of time, Fig. 6.
Applying this approach in calculations can also be useful in evaluating the time
interval, at which cracks having the width that is critical considering the further use
of the structure.
