Abstract:
Admixtures are not just additives—they are performance enhancers that can improve workability, accelerate or reduce setting times, prevent cracking, enhance durability, and extend service life. By collaborating with trusted material suppliers and staying informed about developments in admixture technology, project teams can develop mixture designs that are tailored to site conditions.

This article discusses air-entrained concrete, advantages of air entrainment, the effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the air-entraining admixture (AEA) dosage, and the effects of production and construction variables on air content. It explains parameters such as total air content, air-void size and distribution, spacing factor, and specific surface, and summarizes testing methods and relevant specifications, as well as alternatives to AEA.

Corrosion of reinforcement is a common deterioration problem for reinforced concrete structures at coastal areas causing early failure, increased maintenance costs, and significant safety problems. This paper combines a wellestablished diffusion-based service life estimation method with recently developed data-driven models on surface chloride concentration accumulation and critical chloride threshold distribution data to probabilistically analyze the effect of design parameters such as water-cement ratio (w/c), cover depth, and admixed chloride content in various coastal exposure zones. Results indicate that the used probabilistic analysis can result in changes to estimated service life values by an order of magnitude. Although w/c and cover depth were the most significant factors affecting the service life, parameters such as wind speed, temperature, exposure zone, and distance from the coast were identified as influencing the service life of coastal structures.

Abrasion caused by moving equipment or flowing water can wear away concrete’s surface and render it unfit for service. Kryton International’s Hard-Cem®, an integral hardening admixture based on a unique mineral-metal particle, offers a solution. Its tough microstructure can double the resistance of concrete to abrasive and erosive wear.

This article provides an overview of a hydration-controlling (stabilizing) admixture and its use for recycling returned concrete. It includes details on a robustness evaluation of stabilization performance in a unique cross-country experiment, as well as information on the potential for lowering the environmental impacts of concrete production.
