ABSTRACT
The reduction of the carbon dioxide https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> C O 2 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429227196/8b5c0a5d-ddea-4c88-8eea-7152f7afb008/content/eq14638.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> load in concrete constructions is a current issue in research as well as in industry. As the major CO2 impact is caused by the Portland cement production different strategies and methods have been developed to reduce the Portland cement share of the concrete. The considerations lead to new eco-friendly concrete mixtures. The evaluation of these new mixtures regards mainly the CO2-reduction. A method that evaluates the technical performance in consideration of the CO2-reduction has not been established yet. The task of the project reported includes two topics in this field. Firstly, a new strategy for the design of cement-reduced concrete is introduced. Secondly, a validation method for the https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> C O 2 - https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429227196/8b5c0a5d-ddea-4c88-8eea-7152f7afb008/content/eq14639.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> reduced concrete is suggested. The questions to be answered by help of the planned tool are: Are alternative concrete concepts ready to fulfill the construction demands during service life time? If yes, how, and which amount of carbon dioxide can be saved without losing technical performance?
