Investigated the carbonation behavior of concrete by added ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)‎

Abstract EN

Constructors and researchers have been concerned about carbonation because it has been a concern of the concrete by decreasing the interstitial solution's pH, it may encourage the reinforcement material deposition for reinforced concrete and subsequent corrosion.

The use of geopolymeric materials, such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), is one of the factors that affect carbonation.

This study explores the effects of replacement 0, 20, 40, and 60% from cement mass by GGBS on the physical and mechanical properties in particular, the carbonation of concrete.

According to the results, it was observed that the higher the percentage of cement replacement with GGBS, the lower the carbonization depth, as the best result was achieved at the replacement ratio of 60% .

As for the compressive strength, it increases with an increase in the proportion of cement replacement with GGBS.

Moreover, the addition of GGBS reduced the water Constructors and researchers have been concerned about carbonation because it has been a concern of the concrete by decreasing the interstitial solution's pH, it may encourage the reinforcement material deposition for reinforced concrete and subsequent corrosion.
