The carbonation of concrete in structures causes deterioration and service life reduction. When carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding atmosphere reacts with cement hydration products in concrete and imposes an environmental load, calcium carbonate forms, and the carbonation process begins. Validating the minimum SL cement content required for the carbonation resistance formulae in the TfNSW 3211 specification is important parts of this study. In this research, the carbonation behaviour of concrete mixes utilising 250, 300, and 350 kg/m3 binder content, a fixed water-to-binder ratio of 0.45, and cement replacement levels of 40-70% GGBFS and 15-20% fly ash, will be investigated. Compressive strength, flexural strength, drying shrinkage and accelerated carbonation depth results will be reported. The relationship between carbonation depth and carbonation rate using GGBFS and fly ash will also be evaluated.
