Abstract
In the last decade, as part of the sustainable development strategy, more attention is paid to extending the service life of existing buildings and civil engineering structures. To make an informed decision on the further of existing structures, scientifically based methods for assessing their reliability are required. This article presents a multi-level system for assessing the reliability of an existing concrete structure, included in the new design standards, and shows the stages of practical application using the example of the simplest free supported beam. Methods for calibrating partial safety coefficients of resistance models based on modified reliability indices are proposed, taking into account the projected remaining service life of a construction structure.
