Opis

Chemical admixtures are used in concrete mixtures to produce engineering properties such as rapid-hardening, water-proofing or resistance to cold. This text surveys developments in admixture technology of the late 1990s, explaining the mechanisms by which admixtures produce their effects, and their selection and use. There is a new chapter on admixtures for special applications.
