Abstract The objective of this study is the investigation of the influence of carbonation on the penetration of chloride ions in reinforced concrete sections for different mix proportions and environmental conditions. A comprehensive numerical model based on the change of the pore structure and the chemical equilibrium was used for this combined action of carbonation and chloride ingress. The empirical formulae of some parameters in this model are estimated according to numerous experimental data. And, a set of data analysis is carried out to simplify the estimation of model variables to reduce the computational cost. A coupled simulation of the transports of carbon dioxide, chloride ions, heat and moisture is carried out. Then, the parametric analysis is given and the numerical results show that the effect of carbonation of the free chloride ingress is significant and depends on the binder types and concrete mix proportion.
