Table of Contents

Learning objectives:

1. Analyze how aging factors influence long-term durability predictions in concrete structures.

2. Develop strategies to model and modify the aging factor to reflect real-world conditions.

3. Discuss the implications of using different supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and the importance of making conservative assumptions about aging factors to ensure reliable service life predictions in various concrete applications.

4. Compare and utilize different modeling software tools to predict chloride penetration and service life.
