A Review on Carbonation of Concrete and its Predictive Modelling
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 7, No 4 (2018) pp. 76-91
Abstract
The phenomenon of concrete carbonation is a well-researched field. With the ever-rising concern about pollution in the environment, the need for understanding this phenomenon has increased manyfold. Although plenty of experimental data is available, useful and quantifiable generalization of influences of different factors affecting various parameters is a difficult task owing to the innumerable variability in experimental conditions and ingredients of the concretes tested and the specimens taken. Several studies have employed numerical and statistical modelling techniques to predict the depth of carbonation as a function of the age of concrete, compressive strength and other parameters affecting the carbonation of concrete. This paper was aimed at discussing several issues of uncertainty in the prediction and evaluation of carbonation propagation.
