This paper deals with durability design and comments on the assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in relation to existing codes. Enhancement is provided by advanced approaches incorporating probabilistic simulations, mathematical models of the carbonation process in concretes made from CEM I through to CEM V, and the reliability issue. This paper presents practical software tools used for service life prediction, concrete cover evaluation and assessment of relevant reliability levels. A partial verification using test results is also presented.
