Abstract
Although accelerated carbonation resistance has been extensively tested, there are no recommendations for the application of test results in codes of practice. The main objective of this study was to determine the limit values of accelerated carbonation resistance to satisfy the required service life of reinforced concrete structures with concrete covers as prescribed in EN 1992-1-1. The service life of 50 years was considered, as well as all carbonation exposure classes (from XC1 to XC4). A full probabilistic analysis was conducted using the fib-Bulletin 34 carbonation prediction model. Using the limit state function and a defined reliability index, the upper limits of the inverse effective carbonation resistance (R-1 ACC) for all exposure classes and in a function of concrete cover depth were determined. The determined values of R-1 ACC presented in this study represent the upper limit of the average value, as well as the maximum deviation of one sample in relation to this average value. Thus, a simple assessment of concrete quality is allowed in terms of carbonation resistance based on the accelerated carbonation depth measurements.
