Carbonation and CO2 Uptake in Concrete
Also Known As:
The standard DIN CEN/TR 17310 focuses on the carbonation and CO2 uptake in concrete. It provides guidance on understanding and measuring the carbonation process in concrete structures. The document offers a comprehensive overview of typical CO2 uptake values for different types of structures and exposure conditions.
One of the key purposes of this standard is to assist in the creation of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for concrete and concrete elements. By providing CO2 uptake values, the standard enables the incorporation of this information into the life cycle analysis of concrete structures. The data can be used to calculate the environmental impact of concrete production, consumption, and disposal.
The standard emphasizes that the provided data can be utilized for a functional unit of one tonne or one cubic meter of concrete, without requiring detailed knowledge of the specific structure being built. This approach allows for a more standardized and simplified assessment of carbonation and CO2 uptake in concrete, facilitating the comparison and evaluation of different concrete products and designs.
