Abstract - Carbon dioxide is one of the major gas which
to be co-formed with calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel which itself can lose CaO and water to convert to silica gel . Gel formation has been observed even in the model cases of reacting b-C2S and C3S exposed to a 100% CO2. It was found that the amount of calcium silicate that reacted exceeded the amount that would be attributable to the formation of the carbonate products alone. [3] The reaction of carbon dioxide with a mature concrete microstructure is acknowledged as a durability issue given effects such as shrinkage, reduced pore solution pH and carbonation induced corrosion. In contrast, a carbonation reaction integrated into concrete production reacts CO2 with freshly hydrating cement rather than the hydration phases present in mature concrete, and does not have the same effects. [1]Carbon dioxide reacts with hydrates of concrete Ca(OH)2 will be converted to CaCO3 .As a result the volume of CaCO3 will be more than that of hydrates. Thus total porosity reduces due to the formation of CaCO3 is more than Ca(OH)2. The maximum amount of CO2 that can be stored in cementbased materials depends on the chemical composition of the cement. The following formula:[5]
causes greenhouse effect. One of the main key factor is to reduce global warming is to decrease carbon dioxide emissions. One of the beneficial process to reduce carbon dioxide is to inject carbon dioxide into concrete blocks and Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures during the mixing cycle. The gas was absorbed into concrete to form thermodynamically stable carbonate reaction products distributed throughout the concrete matrix. The corrosion initiation time was taken as a comparative study for conventional RC beam and carbon cure RC beam. For seven days ,the corrosion initiation time was compared with carbon cure RC structure and conventional concrete .It was observed that corrosion spots were seen on second day for carbon cure RC beam where as conventional concrete corrosion spots were seen on first day. Key Words: Carbon cure RC beam, Green house, Global warming, Corrosion spots, Carbon emissions,
1.INTRODUCTION
CO2% max=0.785(CaO– 0.7SO3) +1.091MgO+1.420Na2O + 0.935K2O here, CaO, SO3, MgO, Na2O, and K2O are the mass percentages of relevant constituent oxides. Several approaches can be followed to store CO2 in concrete.
Carbon dioxide emissions are recognized issue for cement and concrete industry. This is estimated that 5% of the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions are attributable to cement production. For a long time, carbonation has been considered a reaction that deteriorates the durability of concrete. Carbonation occurs in the pores near surface of concrete and progresses towards the inside of concrete element. The carbonates and hydrates will undergo reaction during casting which forms a hybrid of hydrates and carbonates. These hybrid forms micro reinforcement in concrete texture. The carbonation of freshly hydrating cement involves the reaction of CO2 with the main calcium silicate phases to form calcium carbonate and silicate hydrate gel
2.MATERIALS REQUIREMENT Concrete mixes with a compressive strength of 35 MPa are used for this study. The concrete mix design was done as per IS 456:2000 and IS 10262:2009. The materials were tested for various properties required for the mix design as shown in TABLE 3.1. The cement used for the entire experiment is ordinary Portland cement of grade 53 cement. The coarse aggregates were of size 20 mm and the fine aggregate used was M-sand. Admixture of type GLENIUM SKY 8433 produced by BASF Incorporation, of specific gravity 1.08, was added to increase the workability of concrete and to minimise the amount of water-to-cement ratio .The carbon dioxide was injected into the concrete mixer. For carbon dioxide source, fire extinguisher was provided.

The carbonation reaction is exothermic evolving 347 kJ/mol for C3S and 184 kJ/mol for b-C2S . When the calcium silicates carbonate, the formed CaCO3 is understood
