Influence factors

Basic conclusions

26

16 groups

RH, Cement Type

RH has a positive effect at low values and reaches a peak in the range of 60% to 70%. The type of cement significantly affects carbonation; specifically, the use of silica fume decreases the carbonation depth.

6

9 groups

CO2

Elevated CO2 concentrations result in increased consumption of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and clinker.

31

4 groups

Carbonation type

Accelerated testing alters the ranking of cement types based on their influence.

32

13 groups

CO2, RH

A high concentration of CO2 and moderate RH (around 50%) are essential factors for enhancing the degree of carbonation.

33

14 groups

Temperature

The rate of carbonation was significantly influenced by temperature, with the optimal carbonation occurring at approximately 100 °C.

34

16 groups

Water/cement ratio

Water/cement ratio is the most important influence factor.

35

9 groups

Water/cement ratio, time

Carbonation depth increases with water/cement ratio and the age of concrete.
