ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Deterioration of concrete structure has been drawing a greater social attention and severe chloride damage has been observed in seaside area. In this paper the method to seek the optimum repairing level of concrete structure is proposed by evaluating the seismic capacity of concrete structure deteriorated by chloride induced damage. Since deterioration and seismic parameters involve various uncertain factors, the proposed method is defined the parameters based on reliability theory. The optimum repairing level is obtained by minimizing the total expected cost in life span.
