Impact of carbonation on reinforced concrete structures, considering the increase of CO2 due to climate change in Brazil by Chiara Pinheiro Teodoro, Rogério Carrazedo

“…Results indicate a 50% depassivation probability within 13 years for a 2.5 cm concrete cover in the worst-case scenario. Additionally, the diameter of reinforcements greatly influences failure probability for excessive displacement, with a 311% increase over 45 years using a 5 mm diameter instead of 10 mm. …”
