This research investigates the properties of fresh and hardened concretes containing locally available natural lightweight aggregates, and mineral admixtures. Test results indicated that replacing cement in the structural lightweight concrete developed, with 5-15% silica fume on weight basis, caused
It is often desirable to identify a concrete admixture uniquely before its use to avoid adverse reactions. Methods such as ir or uv spectroscopy only broadly classify the type of admixture while chemical analysis is difficult and results are often inconclusive, especially for admixtures containing l
Freshly mixed concrete must be capable of being transported and placed, flowing into moulds and around reinforcement, compacted and finished, all without segregating. Modern concrete admixtures can reduce the water content needed for such performance by up to 30% with a resulting considerable increa
