| Summary: | The addition of NaHCO3 has the potential to enhance properties of concrete by facilitating internal carbonation. This study investigates the effects of the incorporation of NaHCO3 into ordinary Portland cement-blast furnace slag paste. The results show that the addition of NaHCO3 had an impact on the hydration process and increased the heat of hydration on all the slag samples. NaHCO3 caused internal carbonation and facilitated the formation of calcium carbonate and different carbon-based AFm phases, such as monocarbonate. The incorporation of NaHCO3 improved the pore structure of the paste and enhanced resistance against chloride penetration. The chloride migration coefficient of the Portland cement paste sample was reduced up to 96.5% with the incorporation of 2% NaHCO3 at 70% slag replacement. The compressive strength of the samples also showed an improvement with 1% NaHCO3 addition increasing the early age strength and 2% NaHCO3 addition increasing the matured age strength. |
