Abstract:CORROSION DECAY is an expensive and ongoing challenge throughout the U.S.-highway network. To mitigate this problem, advanced composite materials are used in a wide range of infrastructure applications. These materials are lightweight, high strength and offer high-fatigue and corrosion resistant properties; however, accurately understanding how these materials degrade and age over time is critical for safe and economical implementation. Accordingly, a workshop supported by the Federal Highway Administration’s Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program and the National Science Foundation was held to discuss state-of-the-art understanding and future research directions on aspects of aging of composites.
