Service Life Prediction of Concrete Structure Using Life-365 Software

The performances of repaired concrete structures continue to be a major global concern. This is the improvement in repairing materials and method, several repaired concrete structures still fail, leading to costly and time-consuming. This study was conducted to assess the effect of long-term chloride penetration as well as the effect of fly ash, water-cement ratio, and inhibitor on concrete structures to predict its Service life to obtained high strength durable concrete. The water-cement ratio played a vital role, as the water-cement ratio is reducing to get more service life of the concrete and at the value of 0.5, it seems that the peak value of service life of the concrete structure. In this paper, it is generally finding the service life of a concrete structure by reviewing the previous researches and by using Software Life-365.
