- Additional information
- The first paper to quantitatively define the topography of carbonation depth using PSD containing unbiased statistical information on randomness of CO2 penetration. It provides new, detailed information and a step-change in predicting material properties, damage and corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete caused by carbonation. Novel experiments and image processing were developed. It is the result of an international collaboration sponsored by the National Key R&D Program of China. The statistical profile has been used to benchmark carbonation of mass concrete dams, such as the Three-Gorge Dam, Hubei. It led to 3 patents being awarded in China (201810339476.6/201710086212.X/01710086411.0).
