Service life estimate presents the owner with an outline of when thestructure would require a corrosion related repair. This provides anowner with an option to prepare a budget plan to support future repairsand its acceptance in the industry is essential. Present service lifeestimates include a single value (usually the number of years) withrarely considering the uncertainty associated with each parameter inthe estimation process. The exclusion of this uncertainty induces achance for early failure which is a more critical case leading to theowner hustling to accommodate the budget for early repair. Thepaper intends to walk through the service life estimation processfor chloride-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete structureshighlighting the uncertainty associated with each parameter includingthe use of closed-form solution for Fick’s Law ASTM process forestimation of diffusion coefficient the influence of new reinforcing steel andnew admixtures in concrete and a few construction practices that mightaffect the estimate. The intent of this paper is to highlight theuncertainty associated with the service life estimate and promote theneed for a probabilistic approach towards durability determination.
