With respect to durability, the impotance of carbonation lies in the fact that it reduces the pH on the pore water in hardened concrete. However, the carbonation velocity is effected by the water/cement ratio, materials, unit cement weight, porosity, kinds of finishing materials, accuracy of constructing, environmental factors and so on. And the air permeability is closely related to the carbonation velocity because it represents the properties of concrete. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the carbonation effected by air permeability n mortar and concrete. As a result, it was found that the carbonation velocity of concrete is faster than that of mortar and it is possible to predict the carbonation velocity using air permeability.

The carbonation velocity is produced an effect on carbon dioxide($CO_2$) density of surrounding near structures, the concrete quality and types of structures and this study was accomplished to draw a conclusion for estimated formula of carbonation velocity coefficient with various factors by the concrete quality on the base of the data of the durability surveyed in Korea. From the results of analysis of carbonation velocity, the followings were appeared. It is analyzed that carbonation velocity of the structures under urban area is 1.5 times faster than the rural area in the bridges case and it is 2.5 times faster than the rural area in the tunnels case. And the order of carbonation velocity of the structures under urban area is the buildings, the tunnels, the bridges and they are evaluated to progress about 2.7 times and 1.3 times faster than the bridges. In the rural area, the bridges are evaluated to progress about 1.3 times faster than the tunnels and it is analyzed that the carbonation velocity of the upper structures of the bridges under urban area is about 1.3 times faster than lower structures. The results which is compared to estimated formula of carbonation velocity coefficient of Kishitani equation which is generally applied for convert compressive strength into W/C ratios, most of those velocity of structures is faster than the results of Kishitani equation.

The movement of deterioration agents such as a chloride ion, etc. in concrete varies with loading conditions and micro-structure developed by age effect. In this paper, the carbonation behavior by accelerated carbonation test is evaluated considering curing periods(28 days, 91 days, and 365 days) and loading conditions. Carbonation velocity coefficients are obtained referred to KS F 2584. In the control case without loading condition, carbonation velocity coefficient of 91 days decreases to 50.0 % level and that of 365 days decreases to 44.8 % level than that of 28 days curing condition. In 28 curing days, carbonation velocity coefficients changed level of 103.9 ~ 108.8 % in tensile region and 91.9~104.6 % in compressive region by loading conditions. Carbonation velocity coefficients in the 30 % and 60 % tensile loading case at 28 days decreases to 47.3 % and 52.5 % level compared to control case after 1 year. Furthermore, 45.8 % and 44.9 % level of carbonation velocity coefficients are evaluated for 30 % and 60 % compressive loading conditions compared to control case after 1 year. Carbonation velocity coefficient decreases in the 30 % compressive loading level due to effective pore compaction and it increases afterwards due to micro-cracking. In the tensile loading condition, unlike the behavior of compressive region, it linearly increases with increasing loading level.

Hardened concrete contains pores of varying types and sizes, and therefore the transport of air through concrete can be considered. The rate of permeability will not only depend on the continuity of pores, but also on the moisture contents in concrete. In this paper, the effects of curing conditions and moisture content ratios on the carbonation and air permeability are investigated according to the accelerated carbonation test. The results are follows. 1) Compressive strength, carbonation velocity and air permeability are influenced by the moisture content and curing method. 2) The relationship between carbonation velocity coefficient and air permeability coefficient has been quite well established.

Concrete carbonation is a continuous and slow process from the outside to the inside, in which its penetration slows down with the increased depth of carbonation. In this paper, the results of the evaluation of the measurement of concrete carbonation depth using a non-destructive ultrasonic testing method are presented. According to the results, the relative nonlinear parameter caused more sensitivity in carbonation changes compared to Rayleigh's fuzzy velocity. Thus, the acoustic nonlinear parameter is expected to be applied as a quantitative index to recognize carbonation effects. In this research, combo diagrams were developed based on the results of ultrasonic testing and the experiment to determine carbonation depth using a phenolphthalein solution, which could be considered as instructions in the projects involving non-destructive ultrasonic test methods. The minimum and maximum accuracy of this method were 89% and 97%, respectively, which is a reasonable range for operational projects. From the analysis performed, some useful expressions are found by applying the regression analysis for the nonlinearity index and the carbonation penetration depth values as a guideline.

Hardened concrete contains pores of varying types and sizes, and therefore the transport of air through concrete can be considered. The rate of permeability will not only depends on the continuity of pores, but also on the moisture contents in concrete and finishing material on concrete. Also it knows that the durability of reinforced concrete structure is concerned with air permeability which effects on the carbonation occurred by invasion of CO2 gas and the corrosion of steel bar occurred by O$_2$. In this paper, the effects of curing conditions and finishing materials on carbonation and air permeability are investigated according to the accelerated carbonation test. As results, carbonation velocity and air permeability are effected by curing conditions and finishing materials, and air permeability coefficient is effected by moisture content. Also the relationship between carbonation velocity coefficients and air permeability coefficients has been quite well established.

Carbonation of the root concrete reduces the durability of the reinforced concrete, and it is important to check the carbonation resistance of the concrete to ensure the durability of the reinforced concrete structure. In this study, a basic study on the prediction of carbonation progress was conducted by considering the mixing conditions of concrete using deep learning algorithm during the theory of artificial neural network theory. The data used in the experiment used values that converted the carbonation velocity coefficient obtained from the mixing conditions of concrete and the accelerated carbonation experiment into the actual environment. The analysis shows that the error rate of the deep learning model according to the Hidden Layer is the best for the model using five layers, and based on the five Hidden layers, we want to verify the predicted performance of the carbonation speed coefficient of the carbonation test specimen in which the exposure experiment took place in the real environment.
