Moisture is the basis of CO₂ transport and carbonation reactions in the internal pores of cement-based materials. Too much or too little moisture influences the effect of the carbonation modification of CO₂ on recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). During the carbonation reaction process of RCA, moisture is mainly derived from the environmental relative humidity (RH) and the initial water content (IWC) of the RCA itself. According to the available literature, most of the studies on the effect of moisture on the carbonation modification of RCA considered either RH or IWC. Further investigations of the synergistic effects of RH and IWC on the improvement in the properties of carbonated recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) are needed. In this study, accelerated carbonation experiments were conducted for RCA samples with different IWCs under different environmental RHs. The results showed that the best moisture conditions for CRCA property improvement were confirmed as RH = 70% for the dry-state IWC and RH = 50% for the saturated-state IWC. When the RCAs were carbonized under the conditions of high RH with low IWC and low RH with high IWC, CO₂ had good abilities to permeate and diffuse, with the improvement in CRCA properties achieving excellent levels of performance.

Existing bollard force measurement methods have not yet been able to realise simple, accurate, and efficient measurements of the bollard force of a single ship’s cable. In this paper, an experimental study on the measurement of ship bollard force is carried out with reference to the calculation method of measuring the cable force of a diagonal cable. Based on the fundamental frequency method and the frequency difference method, a new comprehensive method is proposed to detect the fundamental frequency of cable vibration. A study on the identification of the cable condition based on the measured vibration data is also carried out. Experimental studies on the error rate of different data acquisition positions, excitation methods, excitation positions, wetted cables, different temperatures, and other influencing factors were conducted, and a new excitation method based on environmental excitation and artificial excitation was proposed. By analysing the calculated values of the vibration frequency method and the tensile values of the prototype test platform, it is concluded that the data acquisition position, excitation position, and excitation method have a small influence on the measured value of the ship’s bollard force, and the range of the error rate increases by about 1.5% under the wetting of the cable and ±2% under the low temperature (2 °C), with the integrated error range of −5% to 4%, and the error rate can satisfy the normal distribution well, and the measurement accuracy is corrected by correcting the length of the cable. The measurement accuracy is corrected by correcting the cable length. It is proved that the method has strong feasibility and applicability, and can effectively realise simple, accurate, and efficient measurement of ship bollard force.
