Calcium silicate based cement (CSC) is a low-carbon cement that emits less CO₂ by up to 70% compared to ordinary Portland cement during its manufacture. Most developed countries have commercialized CSC, whereas Korea is still investigating the manufacturing characteristics and basic properties of CSC. This paper provides a review of methods for manufacturing CSC using domestic raw materials and discusses the possibility of CSC localization based on an evaluation of the basic physical properties of manufactured CSC. The experimental results of this study indicate that the primary mineral components of CSC were CS, C₃S₂ C₂S, and unreacted SiO₂. This suggests the possibility of manufacturing CSC using domestic raw materials that exhibit mineral compositions similar to that of theoretical CSC. The compressive strength of CSC mortar is less than 1MPa at the age of 7 d under wet curing. This implies that hydration does not affect the property development of CSC mortar. Meanwhile, during carbonation curing, the compressive strength is 56 MPa or higher after 7 d, which indicates excellent early strength development. Furthermore, results of Thermogravimetric Analysis Differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) show that a significant amount of CaCO₃ is formed, which is consistent with the results of previous studies. This implies that carbonation is associated significantly with the properties of CSC.

In this study, in CO₂ sequestration was carried out through pressure carbonation for concrete slurry water to realize carbon neutrality in the cement industry. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that as the pressure of CO₂ increased, the pH decreased and the amount of CaCO₃ produced increased. However, despite the CO₂ pressure of 5 bars, the carbonation reaction for 10 minutes alone did not proceed completely.

The objective of this paper is to assess the service life and retrain methods of specimens, which were subjected to carbonation attack, obtained from mix proportion of Sam-cheok LNG storage tank under construction. As the results, accelerated-carbonation penetration depths of 7, 28, 56 ages indicated 4.45, 9.19, 13.37mm, and even considering for cover depths of steel of LNG storage tank under real operation, it was enough. In addition, with carbonation velocity coefficient calculated by carbonation penetration depths, the service life to design cover depth(70, 80, 90, 100mm) of PC outer tank of LNG storage tank was 779, 1017, 1287, 1589 years and 466, 609, 771, 951 years, respectively, considering the $CO_2$ concentration in air which account for the 0.03% and 0.05%. Also, the restrain methods to carbonation attack were feasible through controlling the factors affecting the changes of hydration products such as $Ca(OH)_2$, ion composition in pore solution and matter mobility of organization structures within hardened concrete.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical property and carbonation resistance of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate. In order to evaluate mechanical property and carbonation resistance, slump, compressive strength, and carbonation depth are tested. Slump of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate measured 120~125mm, which are lower than slump of NWAC. Compared to compressive strength of NWAC, compressive strength of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate showed a level of 82.8~95.9%. In carbonation resistance test, carbonation depth of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate measured 10.2~11.3mm, which are lower than carbonation depth of NWAC. As a result, it is found that compressive strength is decreased slightly but carbonation resistance is improved, in case of using surface treated lightweight aggregate.

Carbonation is one of the major deterioration factors for concrete. So. lots of researchers have proposed the equations for determining carbonated depth and the initial time of steel corrosion due to carbonation to predict the service life of concrete structures. However, there are large gaps among the equations for predicting carbonation because each researcher has different considering factors to predict carbonation depth. So, in this study, we calculated the deviations of the proposed equations for carbonation, and we calculated each researcher different corrosion initiation time. However, it has a lot of deviation. Therefore, we evaluated the probability of steel corrosion considering each deviation using MCS, an analysis method based on probability theory. In the results, we have proposed much advanced information for determining service life of reinforced concrete structures due to carbonation.

The Carbonation, one of the main deterioration factors of concrete, reduces capacity of members with providing rebar corrosion environment. Consequently it suggested standards of all countries of world, carbonation depth prediction equation of respective researchers and time to rebar corrosion initiation. As a result of carbonation depth prediction equation calculation, difference of time to rebar corrosion initiation is 149 years and difference of carbonation depth prediction equation is 162 years when water cement ratio is 50%. So a study on rebar corrosion with carbonation depth will need existing reliable data and verifications by experiment.

Carbon dioxide in atmosphere causes concrete carbonation which is the phenomenon, that is, the pH of concrete changes from 12-13 to 8.85-10. Even though the carbon dioxide concentration of indoor is higher than that of outdoor, the micro measurement has not carried out. The concentration of carbon dioxide was measured in three places. The data was used as boundary condition to FEM analysis for expectation of concrete carbonation depth. The affect of building finish materials to concrete carbonation was discussed.

This study presented the analytical evaluation model effective in the concrete structure repaired with a patching material. The model considered the effect of the repair material on carbon dioxide penetration into the repaired concrete as evaluating the remaining service life of the CO2-deteriorated concrete structure after repair. The diffusion profiles of carbon dioxide as well as the carbonated concrete were effectively able to be modelled with analytical method based on Fick's 1st diffusion law.

Carbonation of the root concrete reduces the durability of the reinforced concrete, and it is important to check the carbonation resistance of the concrete to ensure the durability of the reinforced concrete structure. In this study, a basic study on the prediction of carbonation progress was conducted by considering the mixing conditions of concrete using deep learning algorithm during the theory of artificial neural network theory. The data used in the experiment used values that converted the carbonation velocity coefficient obtained from the mixing conditions of concrete and the accelerated carbonation experiment into the actual environment. The analysis shows that the error rate of the deep learning model according to the Hidden Layer is the best for the model using five layers, and based on the five Hidden layers, we want to verify the predicted performance of the carbonation speed coefficient of the carbonation test specimen in which the exposure experiment took place in the real environment.
