Summary
This paper introduces the analysis of reinforced concrete bridge decks exposed to chlorides with respect to several levels of reliability assessment. The first level is focused on the initiation phase. The second level of assessment focuses on the development of disproportionately large cracks in the concrete cover arising from the growth in corrosive products. The third stage of the reliability assessment addresses the ultimate limit state. The bending carrying capacity is combined with Ritz method, which is used for calculation of internal forces.
