C-D-c-t Diagrams for Practical Design of Concrete Durability Parameters

Structures (especially bridges), in Croatian coastal marine environment, are exposed to influence of different aggressive factors. Since many old structures have to be repaired and since many new have to be constructed in that area, there is a special interest of both, experts and the public to perform works with high quality standards. In this paper we propose a method for durability design of structures built in marine environment based on space and time distribution of chloride ions in reinforced concrete structures. This method, which is developed as the computer program CHLODIF, is applied during the construction of new Maslenica bridge.
