Today the reinforced concrete structures need to be designed for a very high service life. Usually thisseems impossible owing to their deterioration due to durability problems. Thus a methodology to achieve the desired lifeis the need of the hour. This study proposes the application of service life model Life-365TM for designing concreteconstruction exposed to chloride laden environment in service for Jodhpur District of Rajasthan state in India. Thecritical parameters for estimation of service life are identified and their role in designing service life is evaluated. Theparametric study provides a guideline for achieving the targeted service life for beam / column elements of RCstructures.
