This module explores innovative strategies that support a circular economy in concrete construction. It examines carbonation-driven solidification using advanced imaging techniques, the opportunities and challenges of incorporating recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), and the role of chemical admixtures in reducing material consumption, extending service life, and promoting reuse and recycling. Together, these approaches highlight pathways toward more sustainable and resource-efficient concrete systems.

1. Explain how carbonation and moisture conditions influence solidification and transport behavior in cement-based materials.
2. Identify the benefits, limitations, and research needs associated with using recycled concrete aggregates in concrete construction.
3. Describe how chemical admixtures can support reduction, reuse, and recycling strategies in concrete systems.
4. Evaluate innovative material approaches that contribute to the circular future of concrete and reduced environmental impact.
