There are large amounts of reinforced concrete structures that have undergone damage from corrosion at their operational stage. The Eurocodes and national standards do not contain any guidelines for designing primary protection and repair systems for reinforced concrete structures. Our research shows the economic feasibility of designing reinforced concrete structures that can interact with an aggressive environment, taking into account the kinetics of concrete corrosion. Optimal design methods can be used to obtain the most economical solutions. We have developed a quantitative methodology for the design of the primary protection of reinforced concrete structures.
