In this paper, we discussed the concept for appropriate repair period for finishing materials of reinforced concrete structures. We investigated the actual building repair cycle, the progress of carbonation of concrete, and the adhesion strength of various finishing coating. In addition, we carried out 10-years exposure test of concrete with various finishing to evaluate the progress of carbonation and the degree of deterioration of the finish coating material. From these results, we showed the possibility of extending beyond the current repair cycle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
