Abstract

In addressing the impact of climate change on the corrosion of RC buildings, it is crucial to distinguish between two adaptation strategies. The first refers to measures integrated during the design phase for new structures. The second involves strategies implemented during the service phase to enhance the resilience of existing structures. This differentiation ensures that both new and existing buildings are equipped to withstand the challenges posed by a changing climate. This section focuses on the first while the strategies implemented during the service life of the existing buildings are discussed in the following section.
