ISO 13823:2008 PDF Download

ISO 13823:2008 is a standard that provides general principles and recommendations for the design of structures to ensure durability. It focuses on verifying the durability of structures under known or anticipated environmental actions that can cause material degradation and subsequent failure of performance. The standard emphasizes the importance of maintaining reliability throughout the intended service life of the structure.

It is worth noting that ISO 13823:2008 does not cover fatigue failure resulting from cyclic stress. This indicates that the standard has a specific scope and focuses on addressing factors related to material degradation caused by environmental actions. The intention of this standard is to provide a basis for the design of durable structures that can withstand environmental challenges over time.
