Introduction. The Cement is the most often utilised building material in construction projects. It is the most expensive material used in the manufacturing of concrete and emits a high amount of CO 2.To reduce CO 2 emission in concrete, usage of cement must be limited. Mineral admixtures as a limited alternative, is one of the ways …
2. Cement: To ensure a level of consistency between cement-producing plants, certain chemical and physical limits are placed on cements. These chemical limits are defined by a variety of standards and specifications. Cement of grade 53 ordinary Portland cement been used by production of J.K. Cement PVT. LTD. company conforming to IS:12269.
Concrete Admixtures: Air-Entrainment. 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.
Functions of Admixtures. a) To accelerate or retard the initial set of concrete. b) To enhance the workability. c) To improve the flow-ability & pump-ability of concrete. d) To reduce the segregation in concrete. e) To increase the strength of concrete by reducing the water content.

Portland cement was first produced in 1824 to be used in the construction industry. Therefore, adding of Portland cement to make the concrete and the use of additives in this concrete had begun after that date (7, 22, 36). Considering studies with cement, the first used accelerator material is calcium chloride (CaCI2).

The use of waste materials in concrete is directly available, not only because of the number of concrete structures, but also because of the closure of waste materials in its structure. Some waste materials can be used as fillers, that is to say, substitute aggregates, but they are substances which can also be used as a replacement for a part ...
