How long will reinforced concrete last?

Longevity depends on several things the concrete mix and reinforcement used, how well its placed and cured, and the environment its working in. Coastal locations, deicing salts, or aggressive chemicals can all shorten the life of concrete if theyre not accounted for in the design. Regular inspection and maintenance — dealing with minor cracks or signs of wear early — will extend the life of the structure. When properly maintained, reinforced concrete offers a very long, dependable service life on site
