Assessment of RC structures influenced by crude oil products

Thinking about structures far beyond 2000, it has to be remember about those, who are exist. From that point the durability of RC systems in crude oil product environments is now recognised as a very important part of the design process. Durability analysis of RC structures by field and laboratory tests based on data collected over many years are described. The question of crude oil and its products influence on concrete and reinforced concrete is closely connected with this material mining, processing and further exploitation in various industry branches. The oil products affect tanks walls, foundations and other constructions supporting machines and storage floors. Therefore, the range and technical importance of the problem are wide and especially connected with industrial construction. The assessment methods of concrete and RC damage by crude oil products based on their feature tests is presented.
