This paper presents a specific case study for estimating the service life of structures contains Metakaolin concrete using the SA.Du2020 model. Reckoning the service life helps reinforce the discernibility of these buildings and controls some economic aspects. The case in consideration was applied to the data collected for a mix contains 15% Metakaolin. The physical and chemical features of metakaolin Concrete will be examined. Durability tests of metakaolin Concrete encompass chloride penetration, water permeability, abrasion, water absorption, bond resistance, corrosion resistance and concrete resistance tests. The results of the service life prediction provide a perspective for the expected life span of buildings of similar conditions. The total cost through the intended life has to be considered.
