Abstract
This paper presents the mathematical models describing the diffusion of carbon-dioxide in concrete with considering the effect of concrete carbonation. The effect of concrete carbonation on carbon-dioxide diffusion is modelled by using a sink term added in the diffusion equation. It is shown that, when the carbonation reaction is much faster than the diffusion process, the diffusion of carbon-dioxide in carbonated concrete can be treated as the diffusion problem with a moving boundary, representing the diffusion front or the carbonation depth. An analytical solution is also derived for the diffusion problem with moving boundary.
