It is well known that carbonation will result corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures. To reduce the rate of carbonation, the surface coatings, such as mortar finish, has been used widely to concrete. This paper presents a numerical procedure about carbonation of the coating-concrete system. This numerical procedure starts with a multi-component hydration model. By hydration model which considers both and Portland cement and pozzolanic reaction, the amount of hydration products which are susceptible to carbonate as well as porosity is obtained as function of age. Furthermore, the diffusivity of CO2 is determined and carbonation depth of concrete is predicted. Parameter studies are performed to show the influence of composition and application time of mortar finish on carbonation depth of substrate concrete.

Penetration and diffusion of chloride ions in concrete can lead to the corrosion of steel bar and shorten the service life of concrete structures. Phosphoaluminate cement (PAC) is a new cementitious material which has many special properties compared to Portland cement (PC). In the study, chloride ion diffusion in PAC concrete was tested with RCM method. The phase composition and morphology of hydration products, pore volume of hardened paste cured for 28d were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). The results show that chloride ion diffusion coefficient of PAC concrete is much lower than that of Portland cement concrete under the same test conditions. The hydration products of PAC are main micro-crystalline phase and gel of phosphate and/or phophoaluminate, which formed a dense microstructure. There is no calcium hydroxide produced in the PAC hydration system. In hardened PAC paste, chloride ions might replace the atom group [OH] - and [PO4]3- of hydrates and become stable compounds. The resistance to chloride ion diffusion of PAC concrete will increase with the hydration age, because its microstructure becomes denser with the hydration age increasing.
