When the thickness of mortar coating was over 8 mm, no carbonation was observed in existing concrete structures having an age of up to 25 years.

Their authors hypothesized that, although "the large area of the painted surfaces without joints is puzzling" [78], this could be feasible because the thickness of the mortar and the polishing of the mural would maintain the necessary dampness for a long time.
Similarly, the old mortar area fraction (A om) in RAC can be derived as A_{om} = 1 - A_{oa} - left( {1 - A_{oa} } right){ exp }left[ { - pi {kern 1pt} N_{A} left( {t_{1} h + t_{2} h^{2} } right)} right]^ (5 where N A is the number of recycled aggregate particles per unit area of concrete; h is the thickness of old mortar; and t 1 and t 2 are the coefficients of h.
