Methods to characterize, treat and process biocarbon(s) and combinations thereof as a concrete ingredient replacer and concrete performance enhancer and predictor

Abstract

A method of producing a concrete mixture with at least one biocarbon. The method may include determining a set of parameters for processing the at least one biocarbon and/or the concrete mixture based on a biocarbon water correction factor (BWCF) of the at least one biocarbon, which is defined as a percentage of a water absorption of the at least one biocarbon. The biocarbon water correction factor is preferably in a range of to 100% of the water absorption of the at least one biocarbon, more preferred 40 to 70% of the water absorption when the concrete mixture is a flowable concrete mixture or 20 to 50% of the water absorption, when the concrete mixture is an earth moist concrete mixture.
