A study on carbonation depth prediction for fly ash concrete

Carbonation of fly ash concrete is studied by using two types of fly ash with different CaO contents. It is observed that under natural exposure environments, the carbonation rate is the highest when specimens are exposed in the city. The decreased ratio of water to binder and fly ash content leads to a better carbonation resistance. For the same fly ash content, specimens of high-CaO fly ash show a better carbonation resistance than those of...
