Abstract
This study investigated composite cements with recycled concrete pastes (RCP) and the carbonated analogue, comparing them to Portland and limestone cements. The carbonation curing resulted in a carbonation degree of around 30 %. The presence of supplementary cementitious materials had little impact on the carbonation degree and phase assemblage. Cement pastes consisted of ettringite, calcium carbonate, C-S-H phase and silica gel. This phase assemblage transformed upon further hydration. The alumina-silica gel from cRCP did not contribute significantly to the reactions but modified porosity. The hydrates from RCP carbonated, however did not contributed to the strength evolution. Still, replacing limestone with RCP positively contributes to environmental sustainability by increasing CO2 sequestration. Composite cements had lower strength, but those with carbonated RCP showed higher compressive strength and faster strength evolution. This effect was related to the appreciable porosity distribution compensating for the clinker dilution impact and a fast clinker hydration during the post carbonation curing.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
