Because of its low cost, flexibility, and adaptability, concrete is the most popular and commonly utilized construction material. Since reinforced concrete structures have failed to satisfy the design service life requirement, the inclusion of durability and service life prediction has grown greater relevance in recent years. The corrosion of the reinforcing bar when exposed to a hostile environment caused most of the concrete constructions to deteriorate prematurely. Traditional prescriptive specifications are unsuccessful in predicting service life since they are based on restricted values of mix design parameters. Performance specification, on the other hand, entails the measurement of relevant durability that can be utilized as input parameters in a service life model to estimate the structure's durability
