Types and Causes of Concrete Deterioration
Carbonation-induced corrosion often occurs on building facades with shallow concrete cover. (70157) Carbonation of concrete also lowers the amount of chloride ions needed to promote corrosion. In new concrete with a pH of 12 to 13, about 7,000 to 8,000 ppm of chlorides are required to start corrosion of embedded steel.
