INVESTIGATION ON CHANGE OF TEST METHODS IN ACCELERATED CARBONATION OF CONCRETE

Abstract

In this investigation the trend of research on accelerated carbonation of concrete and the changes in the conditions of experiment were followed in Japan. A survey on the history of the standards of test for concrete was conducted in time series, a flow of enactment and revision of the standards was followed. In addition the test condition of JIS was compared with those of European methods and on the application of the standard of accelerated carbonation test for concrete, a statistical survey of the requested tests was conducted.
