Evolution of Chemical Admixtures Development of admixtures according to :
• Demands on concrete material properties • Changes in binder composition
• Evolution in construction technologies

Demands on Concrete Properties • Higher moduli (compressive, tensile, flexural)
• Greater freeze-thaw resistance
• Improved durability • Minimum shrinkage cracking
• Minimum rebar corrosion
• No Alkali-Aggregate reaction
• Etc, …

Increasing compressive strength Achieved through:
• Low W/C
• Effective WR • Superplasticizers
7/27/2019 admixture types

Enhanced strength and durability Achieved through:
Using:
• Low w/c
• SCM‟s (SF)
• Superplasticizers

Greater improving freeze-thaw
resistance Achieved through:
• Network of fine air voids
Using:
• Air-entraining agents

Minimizing shrinkage-cracking Reduce drying
shrinkage cracking
through SRA ‟s
(shrinkage reducing
admixtures)

Preventing rebar corrosion Achieved through:
• Low porosity
• Fine pore structure • And new admixtures :
corrosion inhibitors

Minimize alkali-aggregate reactions
Mitigate with Lithium-based admixtures

Changes in Binder Composition Due to incorporation of :
• Different forms of Ca-sulfate
• Fillers (e.g., limestone) • Supplementing cementitious materials (e.g.,
natural pozzolans, SF)
Others

Changes in Binder Composition: Upon incorporation of
Fly Ash.
FA-carbon interferes with air-entrainingadmixtures.

Evolution in Construction
Technologies Cohesive, self-
consolidating concrete.
Achieved with :

Evolution in Construction
Technologies Admixtures impact on construction technologies:-
Chemical Admixtures enable
• Pumpable concrete• Self -levelling concrete
• Self -consolidating concrete
Leading to
• Reduced labour requirements
• Reduced construction time

The Admixture Challenge Ahead Resolve fundamental issues:-
• Understand the chemistry and mode action
of each admixture. • Design molecular structure of admixtures for
specific function .

Conclusions A First Conclusion:-
… the development of concrete materials
and technologies was largely supported anddriven by the timely introduction of multiple
new chemical admixtures

Conclusions A Second Conclusion:-
Concrete chemical admixtures:
are essential components of quality concrete contribute directly to beneficiation of secondary
industrial materials or chemicals.
