1. Introduction. As an essential component of concrete, different types of chemical admixtures have been widely applied to improve properties. Chemical admixtures enable the …
Concrete admixtures are liquids or powders which are added to the concrete during mixing in small quantities. The dosage is usually defined based on the cement content (expressed as a percentage by weight of cement or %bwc). Concrete admixtures have a significant impact on the fresh and/or hardened concrete properties.

To a large extent, the working mechanisms of concrete admixtures involve the modification of interfacial properties, either solid–liquid or liquid–vapor. The implications of this are summarized in this chapter, with a view on understanding both the opportunities and the limitations of using chemical admixtures. ... Journal of the European ...
Reducing the environmental footprint of concrete is a major societal objective, to which a variety of technical solutions can contribute. In these special issues we review in particular recent advances in concrete technology enabling this, with a special focus on chemical admixtures. The later can be described as the spices of concrete since added in small …
2.2.2 Chloride-Induced Corrosion (Initiation). Chlorides in concrete ensue from seawater, salt deposits on roads, mixtures of chemical together with elevated ground salinity, marine environment, additives containing CaCl 2 or contaminated materials from industrial waste [1, 3, 6, 27].The initiation of corrosion relates to the activity of chloride ingress into concrete …
This paper presents a review of the properties of fresh concrete including workability, heat of hydration, setting time, bleeding, and reactivity by using mineral admixtures fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), metakaolin (MK), and rice husk ash (RHA)parison of normal and high-strength concrete in which cement has …
