Abstract : This paper outlines the Concrete in Australia Recommended Practice Z7/01 “Durability Planning” [1]. Durability planning is cost-effective selection and usage of materials combined with design processes, construction methods and detailing to achieve the asset owner intended service life without premature unexpected operational maintenance. Z7/01 provides information on durability planning during design, construction and operational service life phases for all concrete construction stakeholders. It is intended to inform and inspire designers about the benefits of durability design so they can inspire asset owners to elevate durability planning to a position alongside structural and architectural design.
