N2 - Models to predict the chloride ingress into the concrete cover of existing or new concrete structures are available in various levels of complexity with all having often their own peculiarities. This chapter introduces the most relevant motivations, definitions, and limitations that have led to the current RILEM state of the art report (STAR) on benchmarking chloride ingress modelling. Background information on the various chloride ingress models, definitions on the diffusion coefficient, benchmarking information, and the basic motivation for the RILEM TC 270-CIM are the main topics addressed in this chapter as an introduction to this STAR.
