Abstract
This paper presents results on carbonation of concrete incorporating various constituents including chemical admixtures and fly ash. Both long- and short-term test results are discussed. For concrete with limited initial curing, it was found that the water/cement (not water/binder) ratio was the most reliable parameter in predicting the resistance of concretes to carbonation.
