“…The correlation coefficient is R 2 = 0.98. Thus, the compressive strength of concrete under carbonation shows a binomial relationship with the carbonation time, which is consistent with previous research [ 38 ]. f cu,c = −0.03 t 2 + 1.5 t + 31.45 …”

The carbonation of concrete greatly affects its service life. In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were used to investigate the relationship between concrete carbonation and its mechanical properties. A T130 High Sensitivity Strain Cable Sensor with a good linearity was used to monitor the internal strain in concrete, to investigate the variation in the elastic modulus of concrete with carbonation time. A mathematical model of elastic modulus and carbonation time of concrete based on FBG was established. At the same time, the authors explored the relationship between the carbonation depth and compressive strength of concrete and the carbonation time using a phenolphthalein solution test and a compressive strength test, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the carbonation depth, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of concrete increase with carbonation time. In the early stage of carbonation, these three parameters increase rapidly, while they grow slowly in the later stage of carbonation. The varying trend of the elastic modulus of concrete is consistent with the compressive strength, which shows a binomial relationship. Therefore, the elastic modulus, measured using FBG sensors, is used as an indicator of the characterization of the carbonation resistance of concrete. This work provides a new approach for concrete carbonation detection and assessment.
