Multiobjective Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Recycled Aggregates Used in Corrosive Environment Based on Response Surface Modelling

In this study, durability properties of concrete samples including rapid chloride migration and electrical resistance as corrosion evaluation indicators were tested. The effects of some environmental parameters including humidity percentage, temperature, and chloride concentration were also examined on concrete electrical resistance. The prediction models for mechanical and durability parameters of concrete were obtained using the response surface method. These models were then evaluated using a metaheuristic optimization algorithm coupled with a simple and fast usability new method of reliability evaluation. Eventually, the probabilistic optimal values of using recycled aggregates were calculated for achieving environmentally friendly concrete. Probabilistic multiobjective optimization results revealed that, in an environment with humidity of 70%, temperature of 23°C, and chloride ion concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 8%, use of recycled aggregates for above different chloride ion concentrations was limited to (33.56%, 13.23%), (32.14%, 5.56%), and (13.23%, 2.86%), recycled coarse and fine aggregates, respectively. Furthermore, optimization procedures were performed for the environment or precontaminant recycled aggregate with the chloride concentration of 10%, but the analysis procedure did not converge to an optimum design point.
