The concrete is the crux component of the building construction activity, which is mixed combination of cement, crushed rocks, sand and water in specific proportion. Concrete admixtures are a range of chemicals added to concrete in order to enhance characteristics of the concrete mixture. Admixtures are added to concrete batch immediately before or during mixing concrete. Concrete admixtures can enhance strength, durability, concrete quality, manageability, acceleration, or retardation of setting time, with admixture adds chemical stability with reduction in water usage.
There area various concrete admixtures based on functions are, super plasticizers, air entrainers, accelerators & retarders, waterproofing admixtures, and corrosion-inhibiting. The super plasticizer is used for high range of water reducers. Air entrained concrete can increase the freeze-thaw durability of concrete. This type of admixture produces a more workable concrete than non-entrained concrete while reducing bleeding and segregation of fresh concrete. Improved resistance of concrete to severe frost action or freeze/thaw cycles. Accelerating concrete admixtures are used to increase the rate of concrete strength development or to reduce concrete setting time. Calcium chloride could be named as the most common accelerator component; however, it could promote corrosion activity of steel reinforcement. Water-reducing admixtures are chemical products that when added to concrete can create a desired slump at a lower water-cement ratio than what it is normally designed. Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures fall into the specialty admixture category and are used to slow corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
