What is the life of reinforcement?

Answer Posted / abhijit hemant sane

Reinforcement can last perpetually, i.e. forever if it is
propoerly encased in concrete.
Life of reinforcement reduces drastically and may not be
more than couple of years if its is kept exposed in
environment. The rate at which it deteriorates depends on
the environment conditions like temprature, humidity etc.

In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
