Research focused on low carbonation of concrete under old cement-based render

In-situ research and laboratory study of the concrete of old bridges shows that despite the low strength classes of concrete and the long time of exposure to CO2, it is possible to moderate the depth of their carbonation. Many old bridges were found during the in-situ survey in Slovakia, which showe...

description In-situ research and laboratory study of the concrete of old bridges shows that despite the low strength classes of concrete and the long time of exposure to CO2, it is possible to moderate the depth of their carbonation. Many old bridges were found during the in-situ survey in Slovakia, which showed negligible carbonation under an old cement render (PRC) even after more than 100 years of direct exposure to CO2. At the same time, it was found that if this protective layer was significantly damaged or missing in some places, the depth of carbonation of the same concrete reached considerable depths, locally 70-80 mm. The article presents and summarizes the findings from in-situ and laboratory research with a possible explanation of this phenomenon.
