Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials globally. Generally, it’s prepared by mixing four ingredients—cement, water, sand, and aggregate. But this mixture is just regular concrete and doesn’t have any unique properties to satisfy modern construction needs. That said, admixture in construction is the addition of natural…
Apart from cement, water, and aggregates, chemical admixtures are other important ingredients of concrete that are used to improve concrete quality, manageability, and acceleration or retardation of setting time. The properties that are commonly modified by using admixtures are the heat of hydration, accelerated or retard setting time, workability, water…
