Application of the Monte Carlo Method to Evaluate the Impact of Uncertainty of Model Parameters on the Time of Concrete Cover Damage

Abstract

Abstract The work concerns the evaluation of the cover cracking time in corrosion conditions of reinforcement. The simulation approach using the Monte Carlo method was used to determine the limit values of corrosive volumetric strains that can be created as the result of corrosion. The calculations were made using the ATENA package, taking into account the effect of concrete curing on the cracking propagation of the test sample.
