FACTORS AFFECTING THE DURABILITY OF MONOLITHIC ELEMENTS OF LOW-CARBON BUILDINGS UNDER OPERATING CONDITIONS

Аннотация

The mechanisms of degradation of monolithic elements in low-carbon buildings—carbonation, reinforcement corrosion, fatigue damage, and crack formation—are analyzed. It is established that low-carbon concretes have different carbonation and moisture transport dynamics compared to conventional mixtures. The necessity of a comprehensive approach, integrating building physics methods and simplified finite element analysis for predicting the residual service life of structures, is substantiated. Keywords: low-carbon concrete, durability, carbonation, reinforcement corrosion, moisture transport, cracking, building physics, finite element analysis.
