Abstract:

Carbonation is one of the major reasons for the decrease in pH of cover concrete. This reduction in turn will lead to the deterioration of the passivizing layer around the steel bar and opens a way for the corrosion to occur. Several factors that are controlling carbonation includes: Relative humidity, Temperature and Carbon dioxide percentage. Various researches have been carried out on carbonation study. This paper reviews the experimental and theoretical studies on carbonation in concrete.
