Experience of using the prTS 12390-12 accelerated carbonation test to assess the relative performance of concrete
Abstract
This paper reports data on the use of the prTS 12390-12 accelerated carbonation test (reference method) over the past two decades and shows that accelerated carbonation testing is a suitable technique for ranking concretes in their carbonation resistance. Testing at 5, 7 and 10 weeks provides the optimum solution that minimises the risk of incorrect ranking of different constituent materials. Analysis of data from previous studies also shows that the reference test conditions of a partial pressure of 4% carbon dioxide are a suitable level which allows sufficient carbonation to take place for accurate depth measurement while the preconditioning period of 28 days standard followed by 2 weeks drying in laboratory air did not disadvantage pozzolanic and similar type cements.

If the carbonation test is performed at a low concentration, measurement precision will be impaired dramatically due to uncertainty of CO2 concentration.
“If the carbonation test was performed at a low concentration, the measurement precision will be impaired dramatically due to the uncertainty of CO 2 concentration, as mentioned previously by Harrison et al. [56].”

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.
