The purpose of this study is to clarify the carbonation progress precast concrete get knowledge for suggestion evaluation and prediction method carbonation. measured data compressive strength depth core specimens sampled from 495 actual buildings were analyzed. As a result analysis, indoor side showed higher rate coefficient than outdoor both sides cast-in-place concrete.

Five recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) treatment techniques including flow-through carbonation, pressurized wet nano silica (NS) pre-spraying and combined carbonation with NS pre-spraying, were utilized to improve the performance of concrete (RAC). The characteristics stress–strain curves RACs peak stress, strain, elastic modulus, ultimate strain toughness evaluated after using above RCA techniqu...

This study investigates the influences of recycled waste glass powder (RGP) on carbonation behaviour sodium carbonate activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) mortars. The effect activator dosages, types and RGP addition resistance to are evaluated. results indicate a high dosage or water combination as always can enhance ability carbonation. Furthermore, 30% in GGBS binder system ...

Abstract Carbonation curing differs from weathering carbonation since it is performed intentionally at the early ages of cement hydration. This cure involves applying different levels CO2 (5% to 99%) concrete for a short period time, usually followed by conventional The objective this article was evaluate in metakaolin-based geopolymer concretes, activated with NaOH and Na2SiO3, compare them Po...

One of the heaviest problems of reinforced concrete structures consists in the steel armature corrosion. The steel armature condition affects, above all, the properties of horizontal structures. It is to be noted that the corrosion process itself may not be observable from the outside in many cases. This is why studies of non-destructive methods allowing the researchers to detect the degree of ...

An optimized approach of CO2 fixation in Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)-rich aqueous solutions using insoluble amine as an enhancing medium was reported. Apparent basicity was verified to be an effective indicator for the selection and optimization of organic amine systems and finally the diisobutylamine + n-octanol system was selected to enhance the carbonation reactions of CO2 in an artificial Ca(2+)/Mg(2+)-r...

Bone is the most common site for breast cancer metastases. One of the major complications of bone metastasis is pathological bone fracture caused by chronic bone loss and degeneration. Current guidelines for the prediction of pathological fracture mainly rely on radiographs or computed tomography, which are limited in their ability to predict fracture risk. The present study explored the feasib...

Decalcification of cement paste in concrete is associated with several modes of chemical degradation including leaching, carbonation and sulfate attack. The primary aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of decalcification under saturated conditions on the dimensional stability of cement paste. Thin (0.8 mm) specimens of tricalcium silicate (C3S) paste, white portland cement (W...

Two kinds of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MgAl-NO2 (N-LDH) and MgAl-CO3 (C-LDH), were incorporated to study the durability mortar concrete. The LDH contents 1%, 2%, 4% by mass concrete 0.5%, 4%, respectively. effect LDHs on sulfate resistance was studied through dry-wetting cycle test, compressive strength flexural test. In addition, effects pore structure, chloride resistance, carbonation...

Chemical stimulation of the swallowing network with carbonation and citric acid has been investigated, showing potential benefits on swallowing of dysphagic patients. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms for these effects are not fully understood. Here we investigated the effects of 5 ml liquid bolus swallows of carbonated, citric acid, and still water on a swallowing reaction-time tasks par...
