Use of Fault Tree Analysis in Risk Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Exposed to Aggressive Environments
Zhu, Weiqi, Setunge, Sujeeva, Gravina, Rebecca and Venkatesan, Srikanth (2008) Use of Fault Tree Analysis in Risk Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Exposed to Aggressive Environments. Concrete in Australia, 34 (1). pp. 50-54. ISSN 1440-656X
Abstract
This paper demonstrates a structured method of ranking the performance risks of distressed reinforced concrete bridges. Fault tree analysis has been used to model the likelihood of occurrence of major distress mechanisms. This model can be used to identify the important risks for particular bridge components and their relative severity and to rank the performance trends of bridges.
