The carbonation is the pH loss when the atmospheric
CO2 reacts with the humidity of the concrete samples, generating an acid
atmosphere. This process happens all days, and affects to the reinforced
concrete and induces the corrosion of the steel. The structures could suffer a
serious damage.
Carbonation tests will be done in modified chambers
with CO2 detector/analyzers with the possibility to detect the CO2
concentration in different range of temperature and humidity. It’s recommended
manufacture the chamber with a robust stainless steel alloy because the gas of
the reaction are corrosive, for example AISI 316.
