In coastal areas and in the northern parts of North America and Europe, the major culprit in limiting the durability of reinforced concrete is salt from seawater and de-icing agents. The goals are to reduce the financial and environmental costs and improve the sustainability of the system by limiting the need for maintenance, remediation, and replacement of the structures. are considering raising the service-life specification for reinforced concrete highway infrastructure from the current 75 years to 00 years or more.
