An urgency to use probability-based methods and probabilistic reliability indices in long-term quality assessments and predictions of reinforced concrete products and structures is under consideration. Carbonation nature and depth of protective concrete covers of reinforcement bars and stirrups are analysed. Effect of water-cement ratio on the carbonation rate of protective concrete covers is discussed. Analyzes of reliability of structures reinforcement with composite as spiral (transverse) usage and influence. Presented applied equations and the calculation example demonstrate a simplicity and necessities of probability-based methods.
