I'm working on a research about the prediction life-time models for concrete in harsh environment. I have to answer those two questions.
I suggest you start your reading by looking at this paper.

Temperatur, climatic region, corrosion, acid environmental condition, are probably some important parameters you may need to consider.
João Manoel de Freitas Mota , I appreciate your help. But could you please provide me with a paper written in English.
please refer to the book' Mohamed A.El-Reedy,’Steel Reinforced Concrete Structures-Assessment and Repair of Corrosion ‘CRC Press,Taylor & Francis Group,New York,2008
Many parameters cause the degradation of concrete-like water, acid attack, alkali-silica reaction, chlorides, freezing & thawing, fire. These all affect the concrete durability.
Tests to measure these parameters are:
Study more about concrete durability, tests performed for it, and research papers.
