Therefore, the time-dependency of damage risks should be considered for a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of adaptation measures. The simplest example is probably the cdf of the uniform distribution. To use this table with a non-standard normal distribution (either the location parameter is not 0 or the scale parameter is not 1), standardize your value by subtracting the mean. When the random variable is continuous, its cdf can be computed as where is the probability density function of. Look up the values for 0.5 (0.5 + 0.19146 0.69146) and -1 (1 - (0.5 + 0.34134) 0.15866).

In this case, the probability of damage increases if the structure is new or repaired at time t rep. How to derive the cdf in the continuous case. An opposite behavior is observed when climate change increases the temperature and relative humidity (ΔRH=20% and Δ T=6☌). In this case, climate change has a “positive effect” on RC durability by reducing corrosion damage risk. However, if climate change reduces the environmental relative humidity, i.e., ΔRH=–10% in 100 years, the chloride ingress mechanism slows down, and consequently, the probability of severe cracking decreases.

If there is no change in climate (ΔRH=0% and Δ T=0☌), the probability of damage increases with time and remains constant, irrespective of time of repair.


22.2 clearly shows that the rate of damage risk is highly dependent on climate change effects. The overall trend indicates that the deterioration processes increase probability of damage with time. The climate change scenarios are simply represented as relative changes with respect to current climate conditions of a given location after 100 years. 22.2 presents a conceptual description of the time-dependent probability of damage for a structure subjected to chloride-induced deterioration under various climate change scenarios.
