Research on Factors Affecting Reinforced Concrete Durability

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete is widely used in building structures. However, due to its corrosion, deterioration loss is more and more outstanding. Therefore, besides building material mechanical properties and the cost, the structural designer also need to focus on the durability of reinforced concrete. Effects of reinforced concrete durability factors mainly include corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete, freeze-thaw cycle, soft water, high temperature and chemical erosion. Understanding the influencing factors will help control the concrete deterioration, reduce the structural reparation and maintenance costs, and thereby reduce the life cycle cost of structure.
