Low-binder eco-efficient concretes and carbon uptake are opportunities for mitigating CO 2
emissions and reaching net zero goals. However, the risk of corrosion induced by …

Alkali activated binders are sustainable alternatives to carbon-intensive conventional
Portland cements. Although earlier studies focussed on the mechanical properties of alkali …

Progress in understanding the use of SCMs in blended Portland cement and related effects
is reviewed. An optimized use of cement components will avoid wasting unreacted particles …

To maximize its potential in capturing CO 2, concretes with various water-to-binder (w/b)
ratios underwent a sufficient carbonation through CO 2 curing in this study. The variations in …

Accelerated carbonation treatment was proposed as an environmentally friendly and
promising method to strengthen the old mortar attached to the surface of recycled aggregate …

The importance of considering corrosion propagation in service life design of carbonated
concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) has been highlighted by the …

Aqueous iron hydrolysis products and chloride complexes influence steel corrosion kinetics
and dictate the amount and type of corrosion products formed. Here, we compile a …

A novel carbon capture (CC) coating was developed using CO 2-activated dicalcium silicate,
aiming to enhance the durability of concrete structures and sequestrate CO 2. The …

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from concrete production leads to decreased
alkalinity of the concrete. This is generally perceived as a durability problem, because the …

Carbonation of cement-based materials may lead to durability problems, so that it is
necessary to find a way to reduce the effect of carbonation on concrete durability. This study …
