ISO 13823:2008规定了验证结构耐久性的一般原则和建议程序，这些结构受到已知或可预见的环境作用（包括机械作用）的影响，导致材料退化，导致性能失效。在结构的整个设计使用寿命期间，有必要确保性能的可靠性。 循环应力引起的疲劳失效不在ISO 13823:2008的范围内。

ISO 13823:2008 specifies general principles and recommends procedures for the verification of the durability of structures subject to known or foreseeable environmental actions, including mechanical actions, causing material degradation leading to failure of performance. It is necessary to insure reliability of performance throughout the design service life of the structure. Fatigue failure due to cyclic stress is not within the scope of ISO 13823:2008.
