4) WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF USING ADMIXTURES TO: a) the concrete mixture b) The Ready Mixed Concrete Suppliers c) The Concrete Contractors
(a)Benefits of admixture to concrete mixutre-
Admixtures reduce the required quantity of cement and make
concrete economical.
They enhance the workability of concrete.
Admixtures imparts early strength in concrete.
(b)benefits of admixutre to RMC suppliers-
Admixtures reduce the early heat of hydration and overcome
thermal cracking problem in concrete. If there is a more heat of
hydration then cracks can propagate in fresh concrete.
Admixtures improve the resistance against freeze-thaw effect on
RMC.
Concrete admixtures maximize the sustainability by bringing waste
products in use.
(c) benefits of admixture to contractors-
Concrete admixtures can accelerate the setting time as well as
there are admixtures that decelerate concrete setting time.
There are some admixtures that act as anti-bacterial agents.
There are concrete admixtures that decrease initial strength, but
increase the hardened concrete strength more than the normal
concrete strength.
so by above properyirs of admixtures contractor find the concrete economical and durable.
