Concrete admixtures refer to the components of concrete that are added immediately before or during the mixing process, except for Portland cement, water and aggregates. Concrete admixtures can improve concrete quality, manageability, accelerate or delay setting time and other properties, and can achieve specific effects by changing these properties.

Concrete is a mixture of cement, water, coarse and fine aggregates with or without chemical and mineral admixtures. As aggregate covers 75 percent of the volume of concrete, for HSC, highstrength wellgraded aggregate is essential. The presence of different sizes of aggregate (wellgraded) in appropriate proportions is important to reduce void.

This paper presents an experimental research on mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) at low and high water/binder (W/B) ratios. Concrete at two W/B ratios ( and ) was broken into recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). A type of thermal treatment was employed to remove mortar attached to RCA. The RAC at a certain (low or high) W/B ratio was prepared with RCA .

Lightweight Concrete: Concrete with porous aggregates is now the most commonly used type of lightweight concrete. Its density does not exceed 180 kN/m² because of the use of light and porous aggregate. The light concrete not only results in saving the dead weight of the structure but has better insulation against heat and sound.

Mar 02, 2018 · The types of aggregates considered unsuitable for concrete mixing are flaky, elongated or a combination of both. Flaky aggregates tend to be aligned in one plane, thereby causing issues with concrete durability. Aggregates are considered flaky when the smallest dimension of the aggregate is less than the 60% of its mean dimension.
