The recent revision of Housing Act allow vertical extension up to maximum 3 stories and increase the ratio of floor area to site up to 15%. Currently, the feasibility of performing vertical extension is evaluated based on safety diagnosis provisions and manuals for vertical extension with preliminary investigations on slope, deflection, load-bearing capacity, and durability. However, a need for more reasonable evaluation methodology for the preliminary investigation is still required because the current procedures are borrowed from safety diagnosis provisions and manuals for reconstruction without detailed examinations on evaluation criteria and sampling methods. Accordingly, this study is intended to suggest a method to obtain feasible sampling numbers for durability assessment by analyzing field data on concrete carbonation, chloride content, and steel corrosion. The results of this study are expected to be beneficial for establishing more reasonable field sampling number, and in turn, more reliable durability assessment protocol for vertical extension.
