Durability assessment modeling of reinforced concrete elements

In this paper, the construction components, the durability of which is under study, are the concrete elements. In the first part of the paper, the connection between the deterioration of concrete elements and the moisture conditions inside them is stressed and some basic information about the methods used for the calculation of moisture profiles in construction elements are presented. The second part of the paper refers to deterioration mechanisms affect-ing the concrete elements’ durability. A short overview of deterioration processes is given and there is a focus on chloride initiated corrosion. In the last part of the paper, the probabilistic methods for durability assessment of reinforced concrete elements are presented.
