The use of concrete admixtures increases the possibilities to produce concrete with special properties as well as under harsh conditions. Over the years many inorganic and organic admixtures have been investigated and brought to market. After more than 20 years of application Calcium Nitrate turns out to be a very versatile concrete admixture. Initially, Calcium Nitrate has been used as a ...

Concrete is a common material used in the Nigerian building industry. It is obtained by mixing cementitious materials, water, fine and coarse aggregates and sometimes admixtures in required proportions. Admixtures are added to concrete to modify its properties so as to make it more suitable for any situation. In recent times, building collapse in Nigeria has been a source of concern ...

Chemical admixtures are added to concrete in very small amounts mainly for air entrainment, reduction of water or cement content, plasticizing of fresh concrete mixtures or to control the setting time of concrete. These admixtures can be broadly catagorised as superplasticizers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers and air entraining admixtures.

Admixtures of concrete are generally used to alter the properties of concrete (such as increased workability or reduced water content, acceleration or retardation of setting time, acceleration of strength development, and improved resistance to weather and chemical attacks) to make it more suitable for a particular purpose. For example, calcium chloride can be used to accelerate strength ...

Self-Compacting Concrete is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. One of the disadvantages of self-compacting concrete is its cost, associated with the use of high volumes of Portland cement and use …
