Design for service life: implementation of fib Model Code 2010 rules in the operational code ISO 16204
Technical Paper from Structural Concrete 01/2013
Author: Steinar Helland
CEB/FIP Model Code 1990 (MC-1990) did represent the technology and focus some 20 years ago. However, it soon became evident that the document had some notable lacunas. In 1995 the general assemblies of the two organizations endorsed CEB/FIP bulletin No. 228, extensions to MC 1990 for high-strength concrete, and in 2000 a similar extension to MC 1990 for lightweight aggregate concrete as bulletin No. 4. The fib approved bulletin No. 34 Model Code for Service Life Design (MC SLD) in 2006.
All these three additions have since matured and are now incorporated in the new fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 (MC-2010).

Tunnelling has developed surprisingly quickly. This is demonstrated particularly well by the longest rail tunnels in the World, which are currently under construction in Europe. This special issue describes eight important tunnel projects from quite different perspectives – projects from Norway, from the classic tunnelling countries of Switzerland and Austria and from Italy.
