Download Concrete Admixtures Handbook Properties, Science, and Technology By V.S.Ramachandran – The handbook is intended for the scientist, technologist and the practitioner. It should be of use as reference material for the engineer, architect, concrete technologist, manufacturer and use of concrete and concrete admixtures. It is also intended for use by cement scientists, material scientists and students of concrete technology. The book is divided into 10 chapters and all the important admixtures are included. Each chapter contains a list of important recent references that should be a useful guide for further reading. A chapter on “Cement Science” was included to describe the most recent concepts so that the information presented in subsequent chapters could easily be followed. The last chapter on “Patents” describes how a variety of materials (natural, synthesized or waste) can be utilized as admixtures for various purposes.

Admixtures are ingredients that are added to the concrete batch immediately before or during mixing. They confer certain beneficial effects to concrete, including enhanced frost and sulfate resistance, controlled setting and hardening, improved workability, increased strength, etc. Special concretes can be made using coloring pigments, polymer latexes, expansion or gas-producing admixtures and flocculating agents. It is estimated that 80% of concrete produced in North America contains one or more types of admixtures. Admixtures are being used increasingly in many other countries.
