A review on effects of curing, sheltering, and CO2 concentration upon natural carbonation of concrete

摘要

In the literature, the effects of curing, sheltering and CO2 concentration under natural carbonation are not fully understood. There is either controversy or limited research available regarding these factors, while most investigations are based on accelerated carbonation. The currently available research on natural carbonation is particularly constrained and limited. From a practical viewpoint, natural carbonation is more important as it represents the behavior of real structures.
