1. Sustainability indicator classes and specifications
1.1 Durability indicator classes (with respect to rebar corrosion)
1.1.1 Proposed class system for general sustainability indicators
For each durability indicator, "potential" durability classes with respect to carbonation- or chloride-initiated reinforcement corrosion can be defined. Table 1 shows the system of classes ("potential" durability from very low to very high) established for general durability indicators, based on the work of the AFGC group...
