issues in concrete parking garage structures and to simulate their behaviour using commercial structural design software_x000D_
packages. This will include a critical assessment of limit states criteria under long-term conditions, prediction of the structural_x000D_
response of deteriorated elements, and evaluation of structural repair and rehabilitation techniques for service life extension. The_x000D_
overarching goal of this project is to develop a practical engineering approach, based on sound fundamental and scientific_x000D_
principles, to simulate the effects of damage in reinforced concrete structures that is appropriate for use in consulting and design firms, while simultaneously contributing towards advancing the current state of the art in the academic research community._x000D_
Hence, efforts will be made to take advantage of widely available design software to simplify and streamline employee training and facilitate knowledge transfer, while considering realistic damage scenarios and fundamental principles of mechanics with an understanding of the underlying causes of deterioration. Although these approaches will be initially developed for parking garage structures, they could conceivably be later modified to account for other structure types such as buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure._x000D_, program purpose french : The main objective of the collaboration between uOttawa and GHD is to explore the structural implications of corrosion-related_x000D_
