Importance of Lifespan in Structural Design

I’ve been thinking about how crucial materials lifespan is in the design and stability analysis of buildings and bridges. For instance, when specifying concrete mixes, understanding the durability can significantly affect our long-term assessments. How are others integrating material lifespan considerations into their projects? I’d love to hear some examples or strategies.
