What types of admixture ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Admixtures are substances added to concrete to enhance its properties or performance.

Admixtures can be classified into different types based on their purpose, such as water-reducing admixtures, air-entraining admixtures, accelerating admixtures, retarding admixtures, and superplasticizers.
Water-reducing admixtures reduce the amount of water needed in the concrete mix, improving its workability and strength.
Air-entraining admixtures create small air bubbles in the concrete, increasing its resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
Accelerating admixtures speed up the hydration process of concrete, allowing for faster setting and early strength development.
Retarding admixtures delay the setting time of concrete, useful in hot weather or when longer workability is required.
Superplasticizers are used to increase the fluidity of concrete without increasing the water content, improving its flow and workability.
Other types of admixtures include corrosion inhibitors, shrinkage reducers, and coloring agents.
Examples of admixture brands include Sika, BASF, and GCP Applied Technologies.

Accepted Answer

Admixtures cement ,fine aggregates,coarse aggregates water is called admixtures

Accepted Answer

Admixture is use for reducing the water cement ratio and increase the workability of concrete or setting time of cement 
Different types of admixture is use in concrete

Accepted Answer

Different types of admixture are used in concrete for reducing water cement ratio for increasing cohesive strength etc
