Effects of Carbonation on Chloride Penetration in Concrete.

The article discusses a study which examined the combined effect of carbonation and chlorides, specifically the influence of carbonation on the presence of water and acid-soluble chlorides. It described the exposure regimes used to test carbonation depths of specimens with the assumption of using concrete cylinders. Also cited are the chemical compounds used to determine the values of carbonation depth including sodium chloride (NaCl) and carbon dioxide.
