Abstract

With the development of China's economy, construction enterprises' overseas projects are increasing day by day. The first principle of overseas construction is to understand the local specifications. In this paper, the British standards BS EN 206-2013 and BS 8500-2015 and Chinese standard GB/T 50476-2008 are selected as the research objects, and the concrete exposure environment in the durability design of concrete structures is compared, so as to help Chinese enterprises understand the overseas codes, promote the cooperation between Chinese and British enterprises and the construction of Chinese enterprises in the United Kingdom.
