Abstract: This paper concentrates on the carbonation of concrete, but also provides a brief synopsis of varying defects in concrete when used as a building material. It outlines the different defects that can arise with concrete, discusses the cause of these defects, and puts forward industry-recommended remedial action. It also uses live case study examples of the solutions to prolonging the life expectancy of external concrete facades.
