| Abstract | Carbonation of concrete is the major time-limiting factor for the durability of reinforced concrete structures. The carbonation reaction between atmospheric CO2 and Ca(OH)2 of the concrete mass destroys the high pH environment of surrounding concrete which protects the steel bars of reinforced concrete from corrosion. In this paper we present experimental results obtained in an accelerated carbonation apparatus using a variety of techniques, including TGA, and we extend the mathematical model developed recently to include the entire range of ambient relative humidities. |
