In the context of performance-based approaches, sustainability and whole life costing, the concrete structure durability issue has recently gained considerable attention. The present paper deals with service life assessment utilizing Durability Limit States specialized for concrete structures. Both initiation and propagation periods of reinforcement corrosion are considered and a comprehensive choice of limit states is provided. The approach is based on degradation modelling and probabilistic assessment, enabling the evaluation of service life and the relevant reliability level, serving thus to facilitate the effective decision making of designers and clients. For this purpose the selected analytical models for degradation assessment are randomized and appropriate software has been developed. Three numerical examples are presented: a comparison of modelled carbonation depth with in-situ measurements on a cooling tower, and analyses of crack initiation due to corrosion and loss of reinforcement cross section.
