Abstract
The use of existing mathematical models - deterministic: Life-365, Chlodif, and probabilistic: DuraCrete - in the analysis of life span of reinforced-concrete structures exposed to the action of chlorides, as based on physical model of chloride transport in concrete, are presented. The analysis of chloride content, conducted at the Krk Bridge, is presented in the experimental part of the paper. Results obtained by deterministic and probabilistic approaches are compared, and steps for further development of modelling procedures are proposed.
