Abstract

The effect of relative humidity on both air permeability and rate of carbonation is investigated. Descriptive models, based on data from an accelerated carbonation test, were developed to quantify the effects of the relative humidity and the air permeability on the rate of carbonation. The relationships between the rate of carbonation and physical properties, such as the permeation properties and compressive strength were established. It was found that the permeation measurements should only be used to estimate the likely rate of carbonation when the relative humidity of the concrete specimen is known.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most previous studies suggested an optimal relative humidity between 50% and 70% for gas-solid carbonation of RCA at ambient temperature.

    “Because carbonation reactions hardly take place at low moisture content, most previous studies suggested an optimal RH ranging between 50% and 70% for gas-solid carbonation at ambient temperature [19,86,93,94].”

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.
