Software tool FReET-D probabilistic modeling of degradation processes in timewww.freet.cz (Teplý, Vořechovská,Chromá, Rovnaník – Brno University of Technology) Utilizes probabilistic platform of FReET (Vořechovský, Rusina, Novák – Brno University of Technology) Features: random input variables, MC, LHS, FORM, statistical parameters of result, sensitivity analysis, estimation of probability Pf and reliability index , automatic parametric studies, Bayess updating, number of degradation models
Evaluation of carbonation models • Coolingtower(Keršner et al. 1996) • height of 206 m • in-siteinvestigation at the age of 19.1 years • the depth of carbonation measured at 75 locations (on both the internal and external surfaces)

Evaluation of corrosion model Analytical model (Li et al. 2006) porous zone rust steel concrete crack no corrosion filling of porous zone crack initiation crack on concrete surface, spalling Constant geometry: thick-wall cylinder (Bažant 1979, Pantazopoulou and Papoulia 2001,Tepfers 1979)
Evaluation of corrosion model Numerical model ►ATENA program (Červenka Consulting) ►constitutive model based on smeared crack approach ► used fracture plastic model NLCEM ►expansion of corrosion products: (negative) shrinkage of reinforcement
Evaluation of corrosion model Comparison of models Identical parameters: geometry, E, ft Extras for numerical model: GF, fc,…
Conclusions • Durability design of RC structures is now actual in engineering practice • Durability/performance based approach to the specification of concrete durability may be based on predictive(proven!) models utilization • FReET-D is a software tool for fully probabilistic performance based design; the other proves of the degradation models are needed • FReET-D can be effectively utilized in combination with FReET and ATENA software
