Abstract
A rethinking and a new approach to the mechanics of durability is proposed to establish a systematic prediction and evaluation of the behavior of reinforced concrete structures as a function of time. Chemical-mechanical wear of cement materials over time due to a chemical reaction, the action of the environment and external load is described by physico-chemical models of reaction, transfer, destruction and their connection. In addition, the performance of concrete structures over time is discussed. The outlines of several representative research projects on durability mechanics are presented. Concrete is a material widely used in civil works and buildings that support people’s lives. The performance of concrete structures can be maintained for a long time if such structures are properly designed and built.
