Concrete Service Life Prediction

Read the latest NEWS on STADIUM® and concrete service life prediction.


SIMCO Technologies Inc. is dedicated to the extension of the service life of concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments through the development of numerical tools to assist engineers predict concrete degradation.

STADIUM® is the main concrete service life prediction tool developed at SIMCO Technologies Inc. It is a multiionic transport model that predicts the ingress of contaminants such as chlorides and sulfates in concrete structures. The software predicts the initiation of rebar corrosion as a function of the material properties and the environment around the structure.

The concrete service life prediction software is offered as separate modules, Bridge, MarineParkings and Roads dedicated to these specific types of structures.

This analysis and the subsequent recommendations saved millions in repairs or a total replacement of the bridge...
estimated at costing upwards of $100 million. The analysis helped determine that this replacement would not have been necessary and that interim repairs could be made to the structure which would give the NJDOT another 25-30 years of useful life at a fraction of the cost. Learn More.
