This paper presents results on carbonation of concrete incorporating various constituents including chemical admixtures and fly ash. Both long-and short-term test results are discussed. For concrete with limited initial curing, it was found that the water/cement (not water/binder) ratio was the most
Drs Kobayashi and Uno have obtained some very useful results in showing, through accelerated carbonation and exposure tests, that the rate of carbonation of concrete is higher, the greater the alkali content of the cement (1). Such results should not be considered as surprising when the reaction mec
The current practice of specifying concrete for reinforcement protection is often by the standard 28-day compressive strength, water-cement ratio, and cement content. However, this form of specification may lead to misinterpretation. This paper offers an alternative approach based on performance cri
The authors (1) have undertaken a very useful study in examining the carbonation of synthetic ettringite in 5 vol. % CO 2 gas at 25°C and 95% relative humidity in a moist CO 2 incubator at water/solid ratios 0-3.5 by measuring the kinetics of carbonation and the chemical and morphological changes in
