Standardized accelerated tests are useful for carrying out comparative tests of different composite materials. It is easier to determine which material is better than to forecast its effective durability. For example, it is believed that freeze-thaw tests as imposed by ASTM (2003) or other standardization institutions could ensure acceptable durability of cement-based materials in natural conditions during their lifetime in the climate of Northern America and Central Europe, even if the validity of simulation of natural conditions is doubtful. The possibility of using accelerated tests for glass-fibre-reinforced composites are discussed in Chapter 4. [Pg.418]
