Popis: Probabilistic approaches to design reinforced concrete structures require the knowledge of distribution laws governing the statistical variability of concrete properties used as models inputs. The present work focuses on the variability of carbonation resistance throughout the construction period and inside an existing structure. Accelerated carbonation tests were carried out in a laboratory on more than 120 samples taken from two real building sites. Samples drilled from a bridge crosshead were also investigated. In the case of production-variability, the statistical distribution of the carbonation depths was found to be correctly modelled by a normal statistical distribution, as usually done for compressive strengths. However, these two properties appeared to be little correlated. Inside the structure, the carbonation resistance was shown to be higher with the distance to the surface of the drilled samples. In addition to experimental results, the efficiency of the accelerated carbonation test protocol,...
