Abstract
Results show that photocatalytic concrete products applied on the surface of concrete improve the property of carbonation resistance and reduce the corrosion propagation rate of reinforcing bars with respect to the case of cement coatings without any photocatalysts. The adopted experimental procedure can give a first contribution in order to understand if the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide creates a photocatalysed system acting as a protective barrier against the deterioration processes.
