Abstract

Understanding the changes in the pore solution upon carbonation is crucial with respect to comprehending the mechanisms of reinforcement corrosion in carbonated mortar or concrete. In this paper we used Cold Water Extraction (CWE), a rapid leaching method, on profile ground powder from partially carbonated Portland cement and Portland-fly ash cement mortars to study changes in the pore solution composition. Carbonation decreased the free alkali metal content measured with CWE, which matched with the portlandite profiles determined by thermogravimetry and the carbonation depth detected with pH indicator. The alkali metal uptake by carbonation products was confirmed by SEM-EDS and thermodynamic modelling. Besides the decrease in the alkali metal concentration in the pore solution upon carbonation, we observed for both binders a considerable increase in chlorine and sulphur concentrations. This can further accelerate corrosion in carbonated concrete.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
