Accelerated and natural carbonation of concrete with high volumes of fly ash: chemical, mineralogical and microstructural effects

Today, a rather poor carbonation resistance is being reported for high-volume fly ash (HVFA) binder systems. This conclusion is usually drawn from accelerated carbonation experiments conducted at CO2 levels that highly exceed the natural atmospheric CO2 concentration of 0.03–0.04%. However, such acc...
