No techniques have yet been established for matching specifications for building durability to those requested by the building user. The authors study the development of Object-based durability design. This paper deals with the carbonation preventive effects in coating materials for reinforced concrete components as an example, and the selection technique of the appropriate finishing material based on the point of view of deterioration preventive effects. This paper shows our experiments and literature surveys for identifying carbonation preventive effects in coating materials and proposes an approach to estimate the progress of carbonation for concrete with coating materials applied to the surface under outdoor exposure condition.
