Nowadays, the approaches for effective determination of actual technical condition of exploited concrete structures are very strongly supported. The solving of this theme is connected to other partial works, which will imply the obtaining of the actual structural reliability reserve. First part is related to determination of degradation effects on the concrete structures by means of effects of carbonatisation, chlorides, corrosion of steel bar as well as effects of static and dynamic loads, for example in the form of cyclic loading of bridges. Time dependent effects of hybrid concrete structures represent other significant influence, which follows from building stages of construction or from structures strengthened by FRP materials. Second part will be devoted to synthesis of both aspects represented by resistance and load taken into account together using numerical nonlinear model. Model enables implementation of gathered data resulting from degradation effects studies into realistic structure evaluation.
