Sažetak
Durability of concrete structures was long neglected and it has only in the past years become a serious issue, analyzed by an increasing number of experts. Unfortunately not long ago concrete was supposed to be an indestructible material resistant to all environmental impacts. That is the reason why enormous financial resources are needed for maintenance, repair or even replacement of existing deteriorated structures today. However, even now with all the awareness of what can happen to a structure if it is not adequately protected from ingress of all kinds of deteriorating factors, experts in durability (corrosion engineers and repair consultants), are often not involved until problems with durability become apparent. In this paper, constructive systems solutions will be analyzed, with the emphasis to structures derived from precast elements, regarding their durability. With this kind of structures the main problems are evidently joints between precast elements the structure consists of. Most affected group is opened structures such as bridges or parking lots where atmospheric impact is massive. Also a few existing structures will be analyzed and suggestions will be given, to how with a few changes in the original structural system severe problems that are today present on them, would have been avoided. It is sad to say that some of these structures that are very severely affected and deteriorated are only 9 years old.
