5. Estimated service life of reinforced concrete structures vs. reinforcement corrosion
5.1 Incubation period only
The main carbonation models are based on Fick's first law. They differ from one another in the parameters taken into account, the simplifying assumptions about physico-chemical mechanisms, and the initial and boundary conditions.
Among the many existing models, it is possible to establish categories whose purpose, and complexity, are different
