    The document outlines the key factors to consider in assessing the durability of concrete structures, including: 1) Properties of soil and groundwater, specifically chloride content, sulphate content, and pH value. 2) Corrosion risks from chloride and sulphate in the environment, and measures like diffusion coefficients and chloride thresholds. 3) Resistance to carbonation based on relative humidity, concrete cover, water-cement ratio, and cement content.
