Experimental study on effects of CO2 concentrations on concrete

The diffusion mechanisms of CO 2 gas in concrete were analysed through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations. Experimental results showed that, under the same carbonation age, the increase of carbonation depth was found to be high when concrete samples were exposed to low CO 2 concentrations (i.e. 2–20%); and low …
