The structural design of concrete structures needs to result in qualities ensuring structural safety and serviceability, together with durability, robustness, sustainability and resilience. Due to this, the effects of mechanical load, environmental load and even social coherence need to be reflected and included in the formulation of limit states. This is a complex matter involving the time factor, service life, degradation effects, modelling, probability analyses, limit states, costs and other phenomena, and it i...
