The main purpose is to build an assessment method of the durability for a reinforced concrete building. Besides of the summary investigation of building and the preliminary assessment including the visible investigation, the detailed assessment of the durability consists of several tests of material properties, e.g., concrete cover depth, concrete compression strength, chloride concentration, carbonation depth and so on. Engineers can follow the proposed assessment method to determine the durability of a reinforced concrete building. Furthermore, according to the quantitative index of the durability obtained from the detailed assessment, the appropriate maintenance strategy can be suggested to prolong the service life. The paper also suggests the maintenance strategies corresponding to various deterioration causes and degrees. Finally, a case study is used to investigate the application the proposed assessment method in this paper. |
