Radical Concrete Technology. Edited by R K Dhir and P C Hewlett. Published in 1996 by E & FN Spon, 2-6 Boundary Row, London SE1 8HN, UK. ISBN 0 419 21480 1. ABSTRACT. The methodology of reliability calculation of load-bearing concrete and reinforced concrete constructions which are used under influence of corrosion-active environments has been considered. Physical and mathematical models, that are used for analysis in conditions of “environment-load” have been described. The examples of the use of the proposed method are given. Keywords: Reliability, Durability, Constructions, Aggressive environment, Anticorrosive protection, Design. Dr Nickolay V Savitsky is Professor of the Reinforced Concrete and Stone Constructions Departament, Director of the Test Laboratory of Building Materials and Products, Pridneprovskaya State Akademy of Building and Architecture, Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Scientific interests unite fundamental and applied research in the fields of physics-chemical mechanics of materials, technology of the concrete, solid state physics, theory of the reinforced concrete, theory of reliability. He specialises in the fields of diagnosis and estimation of technical state of concrete and reinforced concrete constructions that are in use, of the optimal design of constructive-technological parameters and anticorrossive protection, of repairs and restoring of the damaged reinforced concrete constructions. zv358 INTRODUCTION Building code of any country of the world does not contain any quantitative principles for designing of concrete and reinforced concrete constructions in aggressive environments [1, 2]. Optimal design anticorrosive protection on the whole is complex of technological problems is closely connected with tasks of constructive character. Only proceeding from functional requirements to certain construction it is possible to solve as tasks of the durability provision of the construction on the whole as separate elements-concrete and reinforcement.
