  • Method and system for estimating degradation and durability of concrete structures and asset management system making use of same
    Patent number: 9436783
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for estimating degradation and durability characteristics of a reinforced concrete structure are provided. Location-dependent information conveying structural information associated with different locations along the concrete structure is received, the location-dependent information having been obtained by applying a non-destructive testing (NDT) process to the concrete structure. The location-dependent information is processed in combination with information conveying material properties and information conveying estimated environmental conditions to derive concrete degradation simulation data conveying estimated degradation and durability characteristics associated with the different locations along the concrete structure. A signal is then released, causing the estimated degradation and durability characteristics of the concrete structure to be displayed on a display device.
