- concrete admixtures and the properties they enhance
2016-10-19 Concrete admixtures (additives) enhances the properties of concrete for applications in construction with special requirements. Concrete additives are used to achieve desired workability in case of low water cement ratio, and to enhance setting time of concrete for long distance transportation of concrete. So, it is of much importance for a civil

2020-11-12 This type of mineral admixtures improves the drying capacity of concrete when it is in contact with water. They ensure that the concrete dries without compromising on its strength, thereby ensuring durability.
2013-4-5 Table: Effect of Mineral Admixtures on Hardened Concrete. Quality Measure. Effect. Strength. Fly ash increases the ultimate strength but reduces rate of strength gain. Silica fume has less effect on rate of strength gain than pozzolans. Drying shrinkage
2021-6-12 Admixtures are the special ingredients added during concrete mixing to enhance the properties and performance of fresh concrete. Different types of admixtures are accessible in the market which are utilized in construction work.
2020-5-20 Admixtures reduce the required amount of cement and make concrete economical. They enhance the practicality of concrete. Admixtures provide initial strength in concrete. It reduces the initial heat of hydration and overcomes the problem of thermal cracking in concrete; if there is excess heat of hydration the cracks can spread to the fresh
2020-5-29 Admixtures are manufactured or natural chemicals that are added to the concrete during or before mixing. They are used to give some special properties to fresh or hardened concrete.
2021-5-1 Regarding admixtures, concrete additives help to enhance the physical and mechanical properties. Moreover, they are needed for applications with special requirements, such as cold resistance, setting time control or to improve workability when a low water to cement ratio is required.
Admixtures are chemical compounds that alter the properties of concrete. We can add admixtures before or during the concrete mix as an ingredient of concrete, other than cement, aggregate, and water. The mostly used admixture is plasticizers and super

Silica fume has less effect on rate of strength gain than pozzolans. Drying shrinkage and creep. Low concentrations usually have single effect.
2021-7-10 Concrete admixtures have become a mandatory component in modern concrete construction works with its wide development to enhance the quality, workability, strength, etc. of the concrete. With the wide use of these materials, it is very important to be aware of the concrete admixtures.

2020-11-12 Besides cement, aggregate, sand, and water, concrete admixtures (also known as concrete additives) modify the permeability, durability, ease of handling, and strength of a typical concrete mixture.This article will discuss the types of concrete admixtures and how each type changes the usual properties of concrete and the particular conditions under which they’re used.
There are other admixtures to enhance concrete properties and improve the performance of structures (ACI 212.3R). For example, corrosion-reducing admixtures are available to protect the reinforcing steel from corrosion (ACI 212.3R, 222R, 224.1R). Shrinkage-reducing admixtures reduce drying shrinkage and minimize cracking.
2018-7-31 Concrete Admixture is any Material added to Concrete other than Sand, Cement, Aggregate & Water to enhance the properties of concrete for applications in concrete works. Concrete admixtures can improve concrete workability, quality, manageability, acceleration or retardation of setting time among other properties that could be altered to get specific results. It is of much importance []
