Design method for steel structures in marine environments including the corrosion behaviour

Objectif

Design Codes for steel structures are based on a semi-probabilistic approach, taking into account the statistical distribution of the parameters that govern the design. The aim of the project is to introduce corrosion phenomena in design rules compatible with the semi-probabilistic philosophy. Corrosion parameters will be reviewed as regards their ability to represent corrosion behaviour. The consistency and simplicity of measurement techniques will be examined, leading to measurement procedures, and safety factors will be proposed. At last, design examples will demonstrate the relevance of the design concept proposed in this research. Therefore, the rational use of steel in structures will be reinforced, avoiding excessive safety rules that penalise steel related costs against competitive materials.
