Cement content influence in rebar corrosion in carbonated mortars
The cement hydration products protect the concrete rebars of the reinforced concrete due to the production of Ca(OH)2, NaOH, and KOH that, upon dissolving in the concrete s aqueous phase, generate a pH above 12.5. However, reinforced concrete structures are exposed to pollutant gases, such as, CO2 w...
