of concrete.
The mix parameter having the greatest influence is the W/C ratio because it affects directly
the pore structure and diffusivity of the concrete. Generally, lowering of the W/C ratio can
substantially increase the carbonation resistance. Since the W/C ratio also influences the
strength of concrete, the carbonation resistance may be correlated to the strength of the
concrete
*The curing conditions also have great effects on the rate of carbonation
The presence of mineral admixtures also has some effects on the carbonation resistance.
With good curing, the addition of PFA should have only marginal effects on the carbonation
resistance. However, the addition of these mineral admixtures would demand better and
longer periods of curing and if such curing is not provided the carbonation resistance may
become worst.
