17] found that the surface scaling escalated drastically when
the concrete was exposed to cyclic temperature and RH consisting of two weeks at
temperature = 20 C [68 F] and RH = 82% followed by two weeks at temperature
= 40 C [104 F] and RH = 31%. Therefore, to accelerate the experiment, cycles
were reduced to one week at temperature = 20 C [68 F] and RH = 82% followed
by one week at temperature = 40 C [104 F] and RH = 31%.
