Concrete early strength admixture is one of the earliest admixtures used in the history of admixture development. So far, people have developed a variety of early-strength additives other than chloride and sulfate, such …
This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of natural pozzolanic additives on the strength and durability of concrete immersed in seawater. Concrete specimens using various natural pozzolan contents from 0 to 30% were cured in normal water and then immersed in seawater for 12 months. Sulfate-resisting cement …
One approach is to use novel materials as additives that can both increase strength to concrete while reducing carbons associated with traditional processes. …
This paper aims to investigate, from pore structural and cement paste microstructural points of view, the strength of ed concretes having the same air void contents, for a given density, but different matrices produced by using different additives (individually and in combination). This will be achieved by:
Whereas specimens with a mixture of 15%, 20%, and 25% produce concrete with compressive strength below 36 MPa. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the use of 5% and 10% waste paper ash can increase the compressive strength of concrete. Ash from paper waste can be an alternative material added to the concrete …

Fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, metakaolin and rice husk ash were investigated, sometimes in combination, to this end. Concrete compressive strength was tested at a concrete age of 1, 3 ...
One approach is to use novel materials as additives that can both increase strength to concrete while reducing carbons associated with traditional processes. According to McKinsey's analysis, "admixtures have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions in concrete by up to 30 per cent under current standards and up to 50 per cent under …
Concrete admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, durability, or early and final strength. ... whether it is a high-strength mix or a unique color or finish texture you want to specify. In addition to our ...
56th, 90th and 120th days. In addition, in order to monitor the acid resistance, the strength changes of the samples exposed to 5% sulfuric acid and 5% nitric acid solution after 28 days of standard curing were followed until the 120th day. Results show that, SF and FA additives increase the compressive strength especially at older ages.

Improving Concrete Strength through Additives. Using additives is essential, for boosting the strength of concrete a factor in determining its ability to bear heavy loads without breaking. By adding substances like superplasticizers and silica fume to the mix the water cement ratio is reduced, resulting in a denser and tougher structure.
The obtained exponential equations show that concrete compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths decrease with increasing crumbed rubber additive amount. The testing has also shown that ...
There are essentially 5 distinct types of admixtures or functions as they are known in the trades; water-reducing, plasticizers or superplasticizers, air-entraining, retarding and accelerating. Below you will find a selection of the most commonly used admixtures or additives and how they work to enhance a concrete, cement or mortar mixture.
