BCR is selected because it seems to be a metric that government and policy makers are familiar with. The results of the paper will provide practical advice to policy makers to improve the management of RC structures under a changing climate.]]> Wed 07 Sep 2022 12:56:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49261 Wed 07 Feb 2024 16:19:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39911 Thu 21 Jul 2022 10:00:10 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18854 2 atmospheric concentrations, temperature and humidity will increase corrosion of concrete and steel structures. The chapter will describe how risk-based approaches are well suited to optimising climate adaptation strategies related to the design and maintenance of existing infrastructure. Climate adaptation strategies may include retrofitting or strengthening of existing structures, more frequent inspections, or enhanced designs. An important aspect is assessing at what point in time climate adaptation becomes economically viable. Stochastic methods are used to model infrastructure performance, effectiveness of adaptation strategies, exposure, and costs. These concepts will be illustrated with state-of-the-art research of risk-based assessment of climate adaptation strategies.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19360 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26995 1). It was found that increasing concrete strength grade is more cost-effective than increasing design cover. The results also indicate that the cost-effectiveness of a given adaptation strategy depends mainly on the type of structural component, exposure conditions and climate change scenarios.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23882 1). The results of the paper could provide practical advice to policy-makers to improve the management of existing RC structures under a changing climate by discussing the influence of the following factors on the mean BCR and Pr(BCR>1): specific exposure conditions, climate change scenarios, risk reduction due to the implementation of adaptation strategies, type of structural component, years of construction and adaptation, discount rates and damage costs.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47490 2 concentration, temperature, humidity, ocean acidification, airborne pollutants, etc. This chapter poses the problem of adaptation of deteriorating RC structures. It describes a framework for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of adaptation measures, which accounts for deterioration models, probabilistic methods and cost-benefit analysis. The methodology is illustrated with an example focusing on cost-effective adaptation of existing RC structures placed in the coastal French cities of Saint-Nazaire and Marseille.]]> Mon 23 Jan 2023 11:48:32 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40552 Fri 22 Jul 2022 15:05:22 AEST ]]>
