Long-Term Performance
摘要
This section will define long-term performance in the context of concrete durability and structural integrity over extended periods. It will discuss the mechanisms that affect long-term performance, such as hydration processes, the curing environment, and the eventual formation of microstructures within the concrete. The role of material composition, including cement type, aggregates, admixtures, and reinforcements, and their interactions that contribute to the longevity and resilience of concrete, will be explained.
