Abstract

In tunnel engineering, the corrosion of steel rebar is a critical factor leading to structural degradation and failure, causing a decline in load-bearing capacity, deformation, and cracking. For decision-makers, identifying the optimal timing for tunnel maintenance and selecting effective repair strategies is of paramount importance. This study introduces a resilience-based restoration model to analyze tunnel failure due to corrosion throughout its service life and to optimize the timing and selection of maintenance strategies. The model generates time-variant failure curves by constructing limit equilibrium equations. The entropy weight method is employed to quantify and weight the impact of various failure modes, determining the timing for maintenance when the failure curve exceeds a predefined threshold. Additionally, the model's uncertainty is effectively reduced through regular inspections and Bayesian updating methods, enhancing prediction accuracy. The study further incorporates a resilience index and a benefit index to provide a quantitative assessment of maintenance plans, assisting decision-makers in selecting the optimal strategy. By exemplifying the model with a case study of steel rebar corrosion in a tunnel, this paper demonstrates the model's applicability and offers a new scientific approach for quantitative maintenance decision-making in tunnel engineering.
