Research Progress on Carbonation Behavior of Concrete with Large Volume of Mineral Admixture

Abstract

Abstract: It is imperative for the cement industry to reduce carbon emission in the context of Chinese active promotion of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. A large volume of mineral admixture is used in large volume mineral admixture concrete, which greatly reduces the amount of cement, so it has attracted great attention. In this paper, the carbonation behavior and microscopic mechanism of concrete with large volume of mineral admixture, and the influences of common mineral admixtures on concrete carbonation resistance were reviewed. The influence factors on carbonation of cement, the test and evaluation methods of carbonation behavior and their advantages and disadvantages were summarized. Finally, the possible ways of carbonation were proposed and the further research direction was pointed out, which is of great significance for improving the durability of concrete with large volume of mineral admixture and reducing the carbon emission of the construction industry.

Key words: large volume, mineral admixture, concrete, carbonation behavior, evaluation method, influence factor
