Durability Environmental Regionalization for Concrete Structures

Abstract EN

Environment is the external factor that affects the durability of concrete structures.

Buildings in different regions with different climates will respond to durability deterioration in different ways.

For macroenvironmental regionalization, the dominant factor analysis method of the climatic zonation was applied into the environmental regionalization in this paper.

Based on the environmental characteristics in China and the effect of environmental factor on the durability of concrete structure, the proper regionalization indexes are chosen, and the environmental regionalization is made.

For microenvironmental regionalization, fuzzy set and rough set theories were used in date mining on discrete measured data, and the weight determination of various factors affecting durability was transformed into evaluation of the significance of attributes among rough sets.

The method of durability environmental regionalization is established by analyzing the degree of influence that various factors have on the durability of concrete structures.

The result of durability environmental regionalization for concrete structures in Shenzhen city shows that the proposed approach is reasonable.
