Even though concrete is composed of portland cement aggregate sand water and chemical admixtures the environmental impact of concrete production is most strongly related to the cement component a239tcin amp mindess 2011 teixeira mateus camoes bragan231a amp branco 2016 portland cement is more than 90 clinker which results from
Chemical admixtures are the ingredients in concrete other than portland cement water and aggregate that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction to modify the properties of hardened concrete to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing transporting placing and curing and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete
Admixtures are used for concreting at high temperatures in the production of architectural concrete and mixtures transported over long distances dampproofing admixtures for concrete these are additives used for watertight concrete and their task is to reduce the capillary absorption of the concrete mix by blocking the capillary pores

Concrete admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened such as workability durability or early and final strength
Admixtures are artificial or natural additional materials may be added to the concrete mix just before or during the mixing to change one or more properties of the concrete in the plastic or hardened state as required in our structure admixtures concrete admixtures can be used for the following purposes
Mar 09 2020nbsp018332concrete admixtures can affect cement hydration depending upon the discharge location in the batch plant the point in time in the batch cycle sequencing at which they are discharged one excellent reference on the cement hydration process that also includes information on the use of admixtures is design and control of concrete mixtures
A material other than water aggregates or cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar to control setting and early hardening workability or to provide additional cementing properties 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
