Design life of structure

SESSION 29 : DESIGN LIFE OF RCC STRUCTURES (PART-2)

We had very interesting conversation related to design life of RCC structures on 12-NOV-21. Following are few of the points which were discussed during the session:

Fundamental about the service life prediction
Factors affecting life of a structure
Impact of steel quality on life of the structure
Is it possible to evaluate service life of structure numerically?
Earthquake resistant design and expected life of the structure
and many more…

The entire recorded session is attached below.

Session 27 – Design life of RCC structures (PART 1)

SCHEDULE FOR NEXT SESSION

The next session (PART-2) is planned as follows:

DATE : 3-DEC-21

TIME : 7:00 PM IST

DISCUSSION POINTS TO BE COVERED IN THE SESSION

Following points will be discussed in the session:

Foundation Design parameters from the perspective of design life of structure
How to incorporate design life period in Structural design?
Service life estimation of the structure
Design life vs actual life of RCC buildings
How to analyse and retrofit the seismically affected structures?
How to evaluate residual life of existing structure?
Essential preventive care after 25 years of RCC Structures
Design life of RCC Structures vs PSC Structures vs 3D Printed Structures
We will also take up few relevant and important discussion points coming through the LIVE chat

SESSION 27 – DESIGN LIFE OF RCC STRUCTURES

INTRODUCTION

Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Owners and other construction professionals are concerned about the life of a structure. All the stakeholders desire a long life for the structure. Also, there is a lot of curiosity amongst the professionals in the wake of monuments being designed for up to 1000 years.

It is difficult and challenging to predict life of a concrete structure as there are multiple factors affecting the same like structural system, design parameters, concrete mix design, type of reinforcement, quality assurance during execution, protection against corrosion, earthquake resistant design, regular maintenance of the structures – to name a few.

In view of the above, the forthcoming online technical deliberation is on design life of RCC structures. The discussion therefore would be focused on the following important areas:

Quality control and assurance in lab and at site.
Construction Chemicals in concrete mix , grouting, coatings for reinforcement
Choices of Reinforcement Steel from durability criterion including coating, surface treatment, alloys, corrosion resistance
Deterioration of concrete considering cement chemistry & concrete and concreting practices
Predictions of earthquake forces and reform in material science considering ductility
