Abstract text:
In recent decades, tremendous success has been achieved in the advancement of chemical admixtures for Portland cement concrete. Most efforts have centered on improving the properties of concrete with minimal investments by ready-mix suppliers and contractors in the way of specialized equipment or special skills and education of their labor forces. This approach has resulted in construction cost reductions and universally accepted ready-made remedies for unexpected problems during construction. The behavior of concrete improved with superplasticizers additives is studied.
Key Words:
Concrete; Admixtures; Superplasticizers; Strength; Durability.
