Abstract

The present study assessed the $CO_2$ emissions of concrete according to the type and replacement ratio of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and concrete compressive strength using a comprehensive database including 2464 cement concrete specimens and 776 cement concrete mixes with different SCMs. The system studied in $CO_2$ assessment of concrete based on Korean lifecycle inventory was from cradle to pre-construction, which includes consistent materials, transportation and production phases. As the performance efficiency indicators, binder and $CO_2$ intensities were analyzed, and simple equations to evaluate the amount of $CO_2$ emission of concrete were then formulated as a function of concrete compressive strength and the replacement ratio of each SCM. Hence, the proposed equations are expected to be practical and useful as a guideline to determine the type and replacement ratio of SCM and unit content of binder in concrete mix design that can satisfy the target compressive strength and $CO_2$ reduction percentage relative to cement concrete.

이 연구에서는 2464개의 시멘트 콘크리트 배합과 776개의 혼화재가 치환된 혼합 시멘트 콘크리트 배합을 포함하는 실험 데이터베이스를 이용하여 콘크리트 압축강도 및 혼화재 치환율에 따른 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 배출량을 평가하였다. 국내 생애주기 데이터 목록에 기반한 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 평가에서 고려된 시스템은 요람에서 현장 콘크리트 타설 전까지로서 구성재료, 운반 및 생산단계를 포함하고 있다. 콘크리트의 성능 효율성 지표로서 결합재 지수와 $CO_2$ 지수가 분석되었으며, 콘크리트 $CO_2$ 배출량을 평가하기 위한 단순 식이 각 혼화재의 치환비 및 콘크리트 압축강도의 함수로서 제시되었다. 따라서 이 제안된 모델은 목표 압축강도 및 목표 시멘트 콘크리트 대비 $CO_2$ 배출 저감율을 만족하는 콘크리트 배합설계를 위하여 단위 결합재 양 및 혼화재 종류와 치환비를 결정하는 데 가이드 라인으로서 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
