Service Life of Intake Part Catastrophic Spillway

This article includes the analytical assessment of the durability and service life of the I-st category reinforced concrete structures by the fracture mechanics approaches, the prediction is based on the consideration of temporal changes in the structural features of a particular type of concrete. The main purpose of this work is to determine the durability of reinforced concrete structures and the service life of the spillway Zaamin reservoir and components in the implemented modes and operating conditions that ensure their safe operation and environmental protection. When predicting the durability of the spillway reinforced concrete structures, each structure is considered as a component of the structure behavior scheme. The result of the durability predictions is presented in years, which can eventually determine the service life of the structural component of Zaamin reservoir spillway.
