Abstract
The carbonation resistance of high performance concrete is closely related to the service life of concrete structure, and is an important parameter to reflect its durability. The carbonation resistance of concrete is influenced on selection of curing conditions greatly. In the paper, based on the common curing conditions, the carbonation tests of high performance concrete under different curing methods and curing time were carried out, and the influence mechanism of curing conditions on the carbonation resistance of materials was qualitatively analyzed. The exponential function expression of curing time and carbonation depth was fitted when curing by wet straws. The results show that: in terms of carbonation resistance, the order is wet straw curtain curing, plastic film curing and curing agent curing, and should be cured in advance. The carbonation depth is effectively reduced by short-term curing (3d) and medium-term curing (7d), but the reduction rate slows down, and 7d curing is suggested. The fitted prediction model is calculated the carbonation depth of concrete materials, and the test results are provided data for the selection of curing conditions and time of engineering.
