ADMIXTURES• A m xtures are c em ca a e to
concrete, mortar or grout at the
time of mixing to modify
properties either in the wet state
or after mix has hardened
• Can a be a single chemical orblend
• Usually in solutions with typically
35-40 acti!e mineral compounds
• Amount added is less than 5 of
cement "mostly # $%

Why Are They Used?
• &o modify properties of fresh ' hardened
concrete
• &o ensure the (uality of concrete during
mixing, transporting, placing ' curing
• &o o!ercome certain unexpected
emergencies during concrete operations

Mineral admixtures are incorporated in concrete to:
•
Increase the compressive strength, other mechanicalproperties and duraility!
• Improve the rheological ehaviour in the "resh state!

Influence of *l$ As% on *res%
Concrete• The setting time is increased!
• Wor$aility and "low o" concrete are increased due to thespherical shape o" the "ly ash particles, which has a Jall1

In"luence o" 3ly Ash on Hardened #oncrete
• 6o55olanic activity is proportional to the amount o"
particlesunder DB m in diameter !
• .trength gain o" "ly ash concrete is slower than normal
concrete! Ultimate strengths are reached much a"ter :< days!
This leads to lower thermal crac$ing!
• #reep and shrin$age o" "ly ash concrete are typically lower
than normal concrete ecause o" the lower amount o" paste in
the concrete!• +esistance against corrosion, al$ali aggregate reaction and
sulphate attac$ is increased due to a less permeale and
porous microstructure and reduced portland cement content!

&220.'• 0last "urnace slag is a y1product o" the extraction o"
pig
iron "rom iron ore!
• #o$e and limestone are added as "luxes inside the last
"urnace! The impurities in iron ore comine with the lime
and rise up to the sur"ace o" the last "urnace as slag, while
the heavier molten iron stays at the ottom!
• The slag is suse4uently granulated and can e ground
later to the desired "ineness &usually greater than F=B

Action o" Water1+educing Admixtures
• When the admixture is added to the concrete mix,
a part o" it is adsored y the cement and thehydration products, with the initial hydrationproducts having the higher adsorption capacity!
• There is a modi"ication o" the normal process o"ettringite "ormation and a delay in the #F.

a retarder is added to cement1water
physical adsorption andchemicalreactions generally occur with the #F A and #F.!
The result is the retardation o" setting o" the

Effect of Set8Retardin! Admixtures in %ardened
concrete• When there is plastici5ing e""ect in addition to
retardation, strength increases as water content isconse4uently reduced!
• .et retardation generally leads to slower
