This investigation aims to explore how modern design codes and concrete variability influence the service life of concrete structures.
Evaluated empirical concrete samples to establish evaluation criteria.
Considered modern design codes and conformity standards for concrete production.
Applied reliability-based safety concepts to assess resistance side.
Integrated concrete variability measures into a quality control system.
Demonstrated that empirical evaluation criteria can influence the service life of structures.
Identified hidden safety margins through variability measures.
Suggest the potential to extend the service life of concrete structures by implementing advanced safety standards.
