Admixtures for Concrete - Memphis（外加剂对混凝土-孟菲斯）.pdf

HOME PAGE CHAPTER 6 Admixtures for Concrete Admixtures are those ingredients in concrete other than portland cement, water, and aggre- gates that are added to the mixture immediately before or during mixing (Fig. 6-1). Admixtures can be classified by function as follows: 1. Air-entraining admixtures 2. Water-reducing admixtures 3. Plasticizers 4. Accelerating admixtures 5. Retarding admixtures 6. Hydration-control admixtures 7. Corrosion inhibitors 8. Shrinkage reducers Fig. 6-1. Liquid admixtures, from left to right: antiwashout admixture, 9. Alkali-silica reactivity inhibitors shrinkage reducer, water reducer, foaming agent, corrosion inhibitor, 10. Coloring admixtures and air-entraining admixture. (69795) 11. Miscellaneous admixtures such as workabil- ity, bonding, dampproofing, permeability re- ducing, grouting, gas-forming, antiwashout, Despite these considerations, it should be borne in foaming, and pumping admixtures mind that no admixture of any type or amount can be considered a substitute for good concreting practice. Table 6-1 provides a much more extensive classification of admixtures. The effectiveness of an admixture depends upon Concrete should be workable, finishable, strong, factors such as type, brand, and amount of cementing durable, watertight, and wear resistant. These qualities can materials; water content; aggregate shape, gradation, often be obtained easily and economically by the selection
