RC-Lifetime

RC-Lifetime is a free web application for modelling the concrete carbonation that provides the estimation of the initiation period, i.e. the time to reinforcement depassivation due to carbonation. Hence the Durability Limit State may be assessed by utilizing a stochastic approach.

Three models of the carbonation progress are provided: two models (A and B) for concretes made from Portland cement and one model (C) for concretes made from blended cements. Let's start RC-LifeTime application for more information about models, suggestions regarding input values, etc.
