There has been an increased interest in carbonation as a means for the development of construction materials in the recent years. There have been significant advances in fundamental and applied research related to carbonation curing for sustainability of concrete. The primary objective of this course is to bring together experts in both academia and industry to discuss the recent developments in cementation through carbonation. Abstracts that provide fundamental or practical contributions are invited.

The contents of this course include 4 recorded presentations from the ACI 2023 Fall Convention:
1. How Does Using CO2 as an Admixture Improve Concrete Strength?; Jogiraj Sargam, CarbonCure Technologies
2. Examining Solidification through Carbonation Using Neutron Radiography; Jason Weiss, Oregon State University
3. Carbon Sequestration in Cementitious Pastes with Basaltic Fines; Wasiu Alimi, University of Miami
4. Effect of Graphene Nanoplatelets on the Formation of Synthetic Calcium Silicate Hydrates; Mine Ucak-Astarlioglu, Engineer Research and Development Center

1. Develop awareness about the importance of cementation through carbonation for long-term durability.
2. Establish a forum for exchange of ideas related to cementation through carbonation.
3. Organize future sessions on innovative methods for cementation through carbonation.
4. Illustrate the multidisciplinary aspect of innovative cement and concrete research.
