Improvement of the Simulation of the Degradation of Reinforced Concrete in Saltwater Environments Using Directives

High-performance computers are now essential in scientific and technological research and development because of their high processing capacity and extensive memory; they allow us to simulate phenomena where processing and handling such information is necessary. The simulation of physicochemical problems involves the inherent analysis and processing of large volumes of data. For this, a large computing capacity is required. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a parallel processing scheme using GPUs that allows an efficient way of obtaining the simulation results. This work presents a simulated diffusion model, considering the factors that affect the corrosion initiation rate of the reinforcement structure, such as the water-cement ratio, temperature, density, and chloride binding capacity of concrete since all these variables are handled. A significant amount of information becomes necessary to use computational architectures based on multiple GPUs to obtain better results in shorter times and thus minimize this phenomenon by changing specific design and manufacturing parameters [1, 2].
