Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Ever increasing attention is being paid to deterioration prediction and service life modelling of reinforced concrete structures. Research has progressed to a stage where service life models and design philosophies are, to varying degrees, included in some codes and standards, such as the fib Model Codes and ISO 13823. This has helped to base practical durability design on sound engineering approaches. This paper reviews service life modelling and prediction, and service life design, covering limit state design philosophies and deterioration models. An overview on recent developments, and a critical review on common assumptions in service life modelling and on the application and limitations of the various approaches, are presented. It is emphasised that design approaches and models need to be validated with field observations. It is argued that a performance-based approach is the most suitable engineering tool for durability design.
