Influence of Aggregates Porosity on Concrete Overall Durability – Outcomes of Investigations Carried Out for the New Coastal Road on La Reunion Island Major Project

Recent projects specifications are definitively much more focused on the fact that concrete mix designs must be designed to achieve the expected structures durability rather than typical compressive strength classes. European standard EN 206 is allowing the implementation of performance-based approach for concrete mixes design even if its implementation still need to be further detailed.
