STADIUM Overview STADIUM models the transport of chemical species in cementitious materials resulting from exchanges at the material/environment interface. Exchanges Transport (dissolved species in pores) Chemistry (Interaction of dissolved species with hydrated cement) 5
STADIUM Overview 6
STADIUM Overview Influence of local materials Multiple degradation phenomena Specific geometry of the structure Influence of local exposure conditions Rehabilitation analyses 7
STADIUM Overview The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes STADIUM as the only accurate numerical solution for the prediction of longterm behavior of reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environments. Since 2010, STADIUM is specified in the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). It is used to select concrete mixtures for marine applications, based on specified performance targets. 8
STADIUM Overview Next time step Input parameters: Material properties Environment Geometry Transport Module Chemistry Module No End of calculation? Yes The model is divided in 2 main modules: The transport module makes the species move during one time step, The chemistry module simulates the reactions between species in the pores and the hydrated paste. Model output 9
