Practical approach to structural assessment of reinforcement in existing concrete structures affected by corrosion or fire [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
Many buildings and structures of (reinforced) concrete reach ages of 50-100 years, and over the lifespan, they can change their function. In some cases, structural assessments should be conducted to guarantee the structure’s safety.
