• Abstract:
  This report provides a review of the literature on accelerated aging of concrete. It was undertaken, as part of a research project ; on predicting the long-term environmental performance of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements containing coal fly ash. ; An accelerated aging regime involving temperature, cyclic loading, and freeze-thaw cycles was employed in this project to ; simulate natural tong-term aging processes. ; This literature review describes the general concept of aging of materials and. defines accelerated aging. It describes ; accelerated aging procedures and applications of accelerated aging, and discusses thermal aging, the most common ; accelerated aging technique. Accelerated aging techniques and applications for several types of materials are described, ; followed by a review of accelerated aging procedures and applications for PCC.
