Age
摘要
The term “age” in the context of concrete refers to the period since the concrete was cast. Aging impacts the mechanical properties, durability, and performance of concrete structures. Over time, concrete undergoes physical and chemical changes that affect its strength, permeability, and resistance to environmental stresses. These changes are critical in severe conditions, such as fluctuating temperatures, moisture exposure, and chemical attack, which can accelerate the aging process and lead to premature deterioration.
