OPTIMISATION OF MAINTENANCE OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES THROUGH SERVICE LIFE CALCULATION
Testing and calculation of the service life of existing reinforced concrete structures have become more and more topical, as concrete damage increases, together with a fear of further damage in the future, combined with insufficient availability of economic resources. As a consequence of the damage, service life has also become very topical in connection with the design of new structures. A general description of the requirements of test procedures and a service life model to be used on concrete structures are given below. The description is based partly on practical experience, from inspections of more than a hundred concrete structures, and partly on practical engineering needs in connection with calculation of the service life of reinforced concrete structures. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 882313.
