Investigation of mechanical properties of CO2 infused concrete - Vol.99(7), Jul - Thane ACC LTD 2025 - 23-29p.

The large CO2 emissions of the construction sector have spurred research for environmentally friendly alternatives. CO2-activated concrete strengthens, according to carbon cure and Solidia company, and it permanently stores carbon. This research evaluated mechanical properties of dry ice infused concrete at 10, 20, and 30 % shows incremental strength trend up to 20 % over the control mix, CO2-infused concrete increases compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength, hence strengthening the resultant structure. It resists H2SO4) and HCl to some degree; MgSO4 greatly increases strength. NaCl has no advantages, though. Including CO2 into concrete could increase sustainability and performance, therefore lowering the environmental effect in construction.
