Markov Chain-Based Stochastic Modeling of Chloride Ion Transport in Concrete Bridges

Over the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in models for the evaluation and prediction of the condition of bridges in Canada due to their large number in an advanced state of deterioration. The models are used to develop optimal maintenance and replacement strategies to extend servi...
