Carbonation Property and Prediction of Concrete Mixed with Alkaline Potential Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study investigates carbonation properties of concrete mixed with alkaline potential water (APW). A miniature electrolyzer made up of diaphragm electrolytic cells was made to produce APW. Results show that APW concrete gains greatly in carbonation property - carbonation depth deepened by 21% in the 28day fast carbonation test. A new mold is developed to make concrete samples with spherical concaves which promised a smooth test surface to the sample, realizing the lossless test of concrete carbonation. A long term carbonation test (90 days) of concrete mixed with ARPW is carried out. Applying grey system theory, the time dependence rule, which decides the dynastic model of carbonation formula is studied, offering a more scientific basis for estimating the structural durability of concrete.
