Types and Applications of Concrete Admixtures by Sachin Prabu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Concrete admixtures are added to concrete mixes to modify properties in the plastic and hardened states. There are several types of admixtures classified according to their function including air-entraining, accelerating, retarding, water-reducing, and superplasticizing admixtures. Air-entraining admixtures introduce stable air bubbles that increase workability and durability against frost damage. Water-reducing admixtures disperse cement particles allowing lower water-cement ratios for equivalent workabili
