THE EFFECT OF A CHEMICAL ADDITIVE ON THE PROPERTIES OF A CONCRETE MIX

Abstract

To date, concrete is one of the most widely used materials in modern construction practice.  Concrete and reinforced concrete are the main materials in modern construction, and various additives are used to improve their properties.  Control of technological parameters of concrete with the help of additives is considered to be one of the modern ways to improve the rheological and operational properties.  The use of additives allows to reduce construction costs, for example, reduce the cost of construction, save cement and quality concrete.
