3. Concrete durability
3.1 Origins of property degradation
From the moment they are built, reinforced concrete structures can begin to deteriorate in one form or another as a result of exposure to the environment (e.g. temperature, humidity and cyclic loads). . The service life of a component ends when it can no longer meet its functional and performance...
