With increased realization on the deficiency to uncover the partial carbonated zone and
potential toxicity to human body, the use of phenolphthalein indicator has been receiving …

Fluorescent indicators of a wider labeling pH range of 7.0–12.5 were prepared to
characterize the pH evolution of the accelerated/natural carbonation of cement and the …

Tracing carbonation in cementitious slurries is very necessary, as it helps to accurately
design the durability of infrastructure and achieve carbon neutrality. In this study …

Inaccessibility and subjectivity in damage evaluation during visual inspection may often lead
to faulty assessment of concrete. Digital imaging tools can be used to identify and quantify …

In this paper, the suitability of several current used concrete durability indices on evaluating
the corrosion hazard for a carbonated concrete is examined. The experiment results reveal …

Abstract In the Arabian Gulf countries where soil and groundwater has high contents of
sulfates an chlorides, underground reinforced concrete structures deteriorate, due to …

Historical buildings of Catania city centre (Eastern Sicily, Italy) have been built for centuries
using natural stone materials from local resources, including volcanic and carbonate rocks …
