Abstract:
Pipelines are extensively used engineering structures for conveying of fluid from one place to another. Most of the time, pipelines are placed underground, surcharged by soil weight and traffic loads. Corrosion of pipe material is the most common form of pipeline deterioration and should be considered in both the strength and serviceability analysis of pipes. The study in this research focuses on two different types of buried pipes including concrete pipes in sewage systems (concrete sewers) and cast iron water pipes used in water distribution systems.

Abstract:
Over the last few decades, the increasing premature deterioration of reinforced concrete structures, mainly due to rebar corrosion, has become a worldwide concern. This has been attributed to insufficient quality and quantity of cover concrete resulting from inadequate mix design and poor onsite workmanship respectively. Engineers also often lack understanding of concrete durability and prescribe insufficient cover depths relative to the exposure conditions. Concrete degradation has many financial and social implications on a larger scale. Direct costs relate to the repair and rehabilitation o

The dependence of fire service intervention times is also assessed in the context of increasing intervention times resulting from cuts to fire authority budgets. The results s

However, HPC degradation mechanisms in sulfate and acidic environments are not completely understood.

The required useful service lives of gas turbine components and parts are naturally one of the major design constraints limiting the gas turbine design space. For example, the required service life of a turbine blade limits the firing temperature in the combustor, which in turn limits the performance of the gas turbine. For a cooled turbine blade, it also determines the necessary cooling flow, which has a strong impact on the turbine efficiency. In most gas turbine design practices, the life prediction is only emphasized during or after the detailed design has been completed. Limited life pred

Abstract:
Este trabalho foi elaborado, na tentativa de se aplicar as técnicas e os conceitos que são empregadas na Análise de Sobrevivência, na medicina e aplicá-los na Engenharia Civil, na área de construção. Essas técnicas recebe o nome de Confiabilidade, onde permite estimar a vida útil de componentes construtivos, através de modelos probabilísticos mais usados nessa área. Esses modelos foram desenvolvidos e aplicados nos dados colhidos, com uma confiabilidade de 95%. Esse assunto, nessa área, já vem sendo estudado na comunidade científica, mas especificamente na área da construção civil pouco se con
