Concrete plays a critical role on building up the infrastructure system in our society because concrete is the most commonly used construction material which is considered economical and maintenance-free. However, with unexpected deterioration of existing concrete structures built in the last century, the service life prediction of concrete structures becomes a key issue for concrete technology recently. To achieve "a sustainable infrastructure system", there is an inevitable need for us to clarify the mechanism of deterioration and discuss the concept and design for prolonging service life of concrete structures.
