Evaluation of Properties of Cementitious Materials Including Synthetic Calcium Carbonate by Gas-Solid Reaction as Minor Additional Constituents

Abstract

In this study, several physical properties of cementitious materials including synthetic calcium carbonate (SCC) by gas-solid reaction as minor additional constituents were investigated. The results suggested that SCC may affect the fresh properties of concrete and adiabatic temperature rises, but the effect of replacement ratio and curing temperature on compressive strength is similar to that of limestone powder (LSP). The durability of concrete including either of minor additional constituents were equivalent.
