Abstract
Discusses the detailed design stage, starting with existing best practice for the specification of durable concrete, derived from structural requirements taken from design codes and general requirements for durable concrete taken from standards and other publications. Considers detailing for longer service life and maintaining quality on site, and briefly mentions extra measures to enhance service life, such as multilayer protection against chemical attack.
