The Durability of Alkali-Activated Materials in Comparison with Ordinary Portland Cements and Concretes: A Review (2020, background): “With the participation of water and air, the steel will rust; eventually, the structure will be destroyed due to the internal expansion stress [86].”
Engineering Properties of Concrete with Waste Recycled Plastic: A Review (2018, background): “Carbonation resistance of concrete is another parameter important for its service life [91] since carbonation of the concrete cover causes a reduction in pH, which breaks down the protective layer around the reinforcement and causes corrosion [96].”
A review on effects of curing, sheltering, and CO2 concentration upon natural carbonation of concrete (2016, background): “Early studies [4-6] have long established the attack mechanism of 37 carbonation, which results when CO2 diffuses into concrete, lowering the pH of concrete to about 38 9 to 10 pH, also confirmed by recent studies [12,13].”
