Conclusion
Concepts for durability design and strategy along with performance based service life prediction in current RC design codes are presented. A scheme of coupled deterioration analysis using chloride penetration model and a carbonation model which consider the early-age behaviour and timespace dependent diffusivity of concrete as well as cracks inside concrete are proposed. In order to predict the service life of cracked concrete structures by both chloride attacks and carbonation, a microscopic steel corrosion model is also proposed and implemented into a finite element analysis program. - electric corrosion cell model : cl -, pH - oxygen diffusion model : supplied O2 The service life of RC structures become shortens significantly with increased crack width, increased W/C, and decreased pH of pore water (i.e. carbonation). Optimum concrete mix proportions which make RC structures to possess the design service life can be obtained using this performance tool.
