ABSTRACT:
A method for realkalizing concrete, layers of which have become carbonated and thus acidified as result of exposure to air of the surface of the concrete. The method presupposes that the concrete still contains adjacent layers that have not yet become carbonated. A substantially water-tight adherent coating is applied to the surface of the concrete that is exposed to air. Thereafter, the concrete is caused to become saturated with water from a source external to the concrete structure, and this condition of saturation is maintained for a period of time sufficient to effect a diffusion of alkaline materials from the relatively less carbonated layers of the concrete into the relatively more carbonated layers thereof. The carbonated layers thus become realkalized, so that further deterioration of the concrete structure is significantly arrested.
