Concrete is one of the most suitable materials in the world which are used for construction. It becomes more versatile because of his suitability in almost all situations. Reinforced structures are subject to corrosion by various means. Carbonation is one of these means that causes corrosion of reinforced concrete structures. The service life of the structures has been reduced due to the deterioration of the structures because of the corrosion of the reinforced concrete due to carbonation. This paper focuses on the effect of carbonation on the mechanical properties of concrete composed of mineral admixtures, such as ground granulated blast furnace slag and silica fume, by partial replacement of the cement. In this experiment, silica fume replaced cement in 5%, 10%, 15% and ground granulated blast furnace slag replaced the cement in 10%, 20%, 30%. Samples such as cubes, cylinders and prisms were casted and cured. Certain number of these specimens were also placed in carbonation chamber and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. Normal concrete samples are also tested and the results are compared.

Exposure Conditions

For Canadian Standards Association C-2 exposure conditions (i.e., nonstructurally reinforced concrete exposed to chlorides and freezing and thawing) after 1 year, the effect of cement binder and finishing techniques on the capillary suction sorptivities of commercially batched and field-placed, cured, and finished concrete is reported. It was found that the addition of 40% ground granulated blast furnace slag or 8% silica fume is very effective in reducing sorptivities of field concrete. Furthermore, finishing techniques that do not overwork the surface assist in reducing sorptivities of field concrete.Key words: capillary suction, saturation, sorptivity, silica fume, slag, finish.

Concrete is a general composite material used in construction industry over many decades. Due to rapid Growth of infrastructure, the demand of concrete is raising day by day. This composite material mainly made up of cementitious material such as cement and natural sand. This cement production results in release of large amount of CO2 which directly effects environment pollution and Global warming and also, the usage of natural sand leads to environmental degradation. So, better way to reduction in CO2 emission by minimizing cement content with some other puzolonic materials such as Metaakolin,Fly ash, Ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS) and This present Experiment is for to observe the cube and cylinder specimens strength of M40 grade of concrete at 7 days and 28 days with partial replacement of cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag ,Metakaolin and flyash @ 15%,30%,45% of binding material and natural sand with manufactured sand (M-sand)

To improve the application of low-quality aggregates in structural concrete, this study investigated the effect of multi-purpose mineral admixtures, such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag, on the performance of concrete. Accordingly, the primary performance of low-quality recycled aggregate concrete could be improved by varying the replacement ratio of the recycled aggregate and using appropriate mineral admixtures such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The results show the potential for the use of low-quality aggregate in structural concrete.
