Abstract: In a large extent, durability and service life of reinforced concrete structures is influenced by penetration of deicing salts or seawater salts to the steel reinforcement. The steel corrosion is induced by a raising chloride concentration and possibly can lead to concrete cover spalling due to volumetric changes of oxides formed at the steel surface. Therefore, a critical concentration of chlorides is monitored and investigated by numerical simulations in service life assessments.
