The aim of this work is
to investigate how ANFIS modelling of the chloride permeability of concrete can
contribute to the sustainable development. Therefore, to have an opinion about service
lives of concrete structures, especially the reinforced ones. Thus, some
mixture properties and the rapid chloride permeability test results of
different types of concretes obtained from a previous study are used for
constructing and developing an ANFIS model. Besides, a linguistic life cycle
approach is proposed depending on ASTM C 1202. The performance of model and the
linguistic life cycle assessment approach may make it possible to discuss the
service live of structures. Additionally, it is available to gain economical
and environmental advantages for sustainable development by predicting the
chloride permeability of concrete and comparing them with ASTM C 1202 considerations.
