It is shown that the carbonation of concrete increases with increasing limestone content, within the range permitted by standard BS EN 197-1:2011. This effect, however, is less marked for concrete designed on an equal strength basis to the corresponding Portland cement (PC) concrete than concrete designed on an equal water/cement (w/c) basis.
