RPCs have been chosen for the muon trigger at LHC experiments, due to good timing properties and an affordable large area coverage. Given the hostile environment at LHC, a lot of work has been done in recent years to improve their performance. Several groups have demonstrated the long-term survivability of these devices with accelerated aging tests. I will attempt to summarize the present understanding and highlight the differences between the RPCs and conditions of each experiment.
