Duration: January 2016 – December 2017              

Structural durability is a very important parameter for design of the engineering constructions.Durability is influenced by the degradation processes in the form of structural steel and reinforcement corrosion caused by the environmental actions within structure lifetime. Those degradation processes and the change of the building material properties are affecting the crosssectional and structural member resistance and deformation parameters of structure. The project is focused on the study of the corrosion characteristics of the reinforced and steel bearing structures of engineering constructions to coordinate common research in this field of study andStructural durability is a very important parameter for design of the engineering constructions.Durability is influenced by the degradation processes in the form of structural steel and reinforcement corrosion caused by the environmental actions within structure lifetime.
