The results of the research on the progress of carbonation during six years of sample exposure in natural atmospheric conditions were used to determine the detailed models for a set of concretes with different w/c and different types of cement, and two scenarios of initial curing. It has been established that the model of self-limiting carbonation (i.e. hyperbolic) is more adequate for describing laboratory tests results in natural conditions.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental verification of carbonation models used for estimation of reinforced concrete structures durability}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/117685/PDF/21_D1159-1166_01684_Bpast.No.68-5_30.10.20_.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2020.134652}, keywords={concrete, reinforced concrete, concrete carbonation, modelling, self-terminating carbonation model, durability, cover thickness}, }
