Carbonation of C-S-H gel and its Effects on the Carbonation Rate in Blended Cement Paste - An Experimental and Modelling Study

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), like fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS), are widely used in concrete to partially replace the cement clinker in the production of blended cement or directly replace part of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the concrete. No matter how the SCMs are introduced, they can reduce the cost of...
