Uncertainty-Based Model Averaging for Prediction of Corrosion Ratio of Reinforcement Embedded in Concrete by Siqing Zeng, Fulin Yang, Zengwei Guo, Ruiqi Guo, Guowen Yao

“…HCP decreased exponentially with a corroded mass reduction ratio below 15%, whereas beyond this threshold, the decline became more pronounced, modeled by a combination of exponential and cubic polynomial functions. These results underscore the critical role of employing a piecewise function to accurately define the relationship between HCP and corrosion in reinforced concrete, thereby providing a solid foundation for future durability assessments.…”
