Capitalizing on Self-desiccation for Autogenous Distribution of Chemical Admixtures

For many concretes and mortars, self-desiccation results in the creation of empty capillary porosity within the cement paste microstructure, accompanied by a decrease in achieved hydration, an increase in internal stresses, and an increased propensity for early age cracking. One solution to this problem for low water-to-cement ratio concretes where external curing is ineffective has been the de...

Generation Locally Available Chemical Admixtures in the Production of SCC

Increasing trend in urbanization and industrialization has necessitated production of high rise buildings with an innovation to make an optimized use of reduced available land in thickly populated areas, which is not possible by standard conventional concrete. Such a different concrete can be created only through different types of admixtures, which when added at various stages of concrete prod...

Superplasticizing Admixtures

Portland cement concrete has clearly emerged as the material of choice for the construction of a large number and variety of structures in the world today. This is attributed mainly to low cost of materials and construction for concrete structures as well as low cost of maintenance. Therefore, it is not surprising that many advancements in concrete technology have occurred as a result of two dr...

Production of High Performance Concrete Using Admixtures

In this study, it is aimed that production of high performance concrete using admixtures. The admixture is used to resist against to freezing of concrete, and concrete (C20) is produced, and cured in water. 8 samples are tested in pressure, and mean stress is determined as 28 MPa. Remaining two samples are tested with image processing technique, and determined that sample which containing an ad...
