Decay Resistance of Surface Carbonized Wood
Materials, 2022 Surface carbonization, or charring, of wood is a one-sided modification method primarily intended for protection of exterior cladding boards. The heavily degraded surface acts as a barrier layer shielding the interior from environmental stresses, and as such acts as an organic coating.

Physicochemical Properties of Hydrated Portland Cement Blended with Rice Husk Ash
Journal of Chemistry, 2020 In the presence of significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and elevated temperatures in the atmosphere due to climate change, cement-based materials are susceptible to carbonation. Blended cements are more prone to carbonation attack than Portland

Accelerated and natural carbonation of concrete with high volumes of fly ash : chemical, mineralogical and microstructural effects [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...

Overcoming public resistance to carbon taxes [PDF]
WIREs Climate Change, 2018 Carbon taxes represent a cost‐effective way to steer the economy toward a greener future. In the real world, their application has however been limited. In this paper, we address one of the main obstacles to carbon taxes: public opposition. We identify drivers of and barriers to public support, and, under the form of stylized facts, provide general ...

Performance of GGBS Cement Concrete under Natural Carbonation and Accelerated Carbonation Exposure
Journal of Engineering, 2021 One of the primary problems related to reinforced concrete structures is carbonation of concrete. In many cases, depth of carbonation on reinforced concrete structures is used to evaluate concrete service life.
