18 Concluding Remarks Long life of infrastructure, which needs massive resources and energy, is vital for sustainability especially in Asia, where two thirds of the world infrastructures is being constructed. In this project life cycle prediction and rehabilitation methods for concrete structures under environmental actions (such as temperature/moisture and corrosive substance) causing deterioration are presented with consideration of the local conditions of material quality and climate in Asia and Africa. Then, the international standards for life cycle management (LCM) of concrete structures will be prepared by the Asian and African international team in ISO where European and American countries are dominant. 17
