Description:  Biochar is produced by pyrolysis of any of a wide range of biomass sources. In recent years it has been shown that adding small amounts of biochar to concrete binders can endow the material with interesting properties. We will summarize the results of our Cycle 1 research on using biochar in concrete, which has shown that biochar additions up to 7.5% by mass simultaneously shortens the material’s setting time and enhances its early-age strength gain, perhaps by passively absorbing CO2 from the surrounding environment. These properties all are advantageous for bridge construction applications where a premium is placed on shortening the construction time and reestablishing traffic flow.
