They improve durability of concrete; in particular, it’s resistance effect of frost and de-icing salts. The entrainment of air in the form of very small and stable bubbles can be achieved by using framing agents based on natural wood resins, animal or vegetable fat an ...

      CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0      CONCLUSION          Based on the results of this investigation, the following conclusion is drawn;         Admixtures affect properties of concrete like its slump value, density, compressive strength, etc.         Admixtures generally decrease the slump value of concrete which in turns decrease the workability of the concrete, since normal concrete(0% concrete) has a slump value of between 55-60mm while concrete with admixture has slump value lesser ...
