![]() This work also evaluates the failure probability of durability based on the reliability concept by considering the coefficient of variation of carbonation depth and cover depth. This analysis takes into account the effect of change in temperature, carbon dioxide levels and relative humidity on diffusion coefficients considering relative humidity as a time-dependent variable. Carbonation-induced corrosion of concrete structures in Bern and Seoul under a dynamic climate is investigated during this work by considering high and medium greenhouse gas emissions scenarios RCP 8.5 and RCP 4.5 respectively. The increase in carbon dioxide concentration and temperature can increase the carbonation depth of concrete. The ambiance around the concrete structures could be affected by a dynamic climate, particularly after a long time, results in declination of durability at a quicker rate. Although temperature is not the only factor influencing seasonality it seems to be a highly important one, as only for three places the Pearson correlation coefficient stands below 0.5. We identified that the top three places where the temperature has an increasing correlation with seasonality in the past years is Târgu-Mureș, Cluj-Napoca and Râmnicu Vâlcea. The high correlation values don’t follow any pattern in spatial distribution. We observed that seasonality is highly related to temperature values, especially to the average of daily mean values and often this correlation value exceeds 0.8 (threshold value is 0.195). ![]() Therefore, we took tourist flow and temperature data for the 35 most important touristic locations and calculated a seasonality indicator which afterward was correlated with different summarized values derived from temperature data at monthly scale. In our study, we want to make a preliminary research on whether this change is reflected on tourism seasonality in Romania. Climate change is a reality which is observed not only by scientists but also by the population. ![]()
