Concrete, CO2Abstract
With the increased construction demand the world is experiencing, it is crucial to develop new solutions that minimize concrete’s environmental impact. This study investigates the effect of CO2 injection on early-age strength in concrete mixtures with reduced cement content. Compression tests, isothermal calorimetry, and R3 tests were conducted to investigate the impact of using metakaolin as a supplementary cementitious material in CO2-injected mixes. Preliminary results showed promising strength boosts at an early age for the CO2-treated concretes. These findings offer a promising solution for sustainable concrete mixtures with reduced carbon emissions and adequate structural performance.
