Abstract
The present manuscript proposes a rational concept of description and evaluation of the damage states of structures. All mechanical, chemical or bio-chemical deterioration processes will reduce the originally virgin stiffnesses of a particular structure over its life-time. In the following it shall be outlined, how the consequences of structural damage of real or anticipated deterioration processes can be described and computer-simulated, from the virgin state of the structure up to failure.
