abstract={Evaluating present condition of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is necessary for planning future maintenance and estimating residual service life of structures. A ten point (0-9) condition rating system is proposed for obtaining present condition of RC structures based on the measured values of concrete cover, carbonation depth and chloride concentration at rebar depth through in-situ tests. Proposed condition rating has been related to maintenance, inspection and replacement priorities. A model similar to TuttiĄ¯s model (1982) (Figure 1) has been developed and presented in this article to predict remaining service life of deteriorated structure, by evaluating present condition of RC structures.},
