The Overview of the durability of concrete structures: Withan emphasis on Major durability problems

In general, concrete is quite a durable construction material so that a countless number of public and private structures and buildings have been constructed by using it world widely. The deterioration of concrete and its reinforcement material in corrosive environments has been a real problem over the years. However, when improper selections of used materials and mix proportion of concrete are carried out, or when the structure is exposed to very severe environment, some of deterioration may occur on the concrete structures of which functions decrease in their levels less than the required ones.
