MS_234 — Probabilistic methods for the assessment of existing concrete structures (3)

The semi-probabilistic approach considers the critical chloride content Ccrit and the thickness of the concrete cover c as the only stochastic variables. In view of the use by practitioners, i.e. a non-scientific community, for Ccrit a lognormal distribution is arbitrarily chosen with μCcrit = 0.60% and σCcrit = 0.20%, CUR (2009).
