Abstract:
The use of various chemical and mineral admixtures in Portland cement concrete alters the hydration process and chemical interaction and leads to unexpected concrete behaviour. Complex chemical interaction between different compositions in cements, chemical and mineral admixtures creates poor cement-admixture compatibility and leads to premature loss of workability. Cement-admixture incompatibility is a major problem in the concrete industry that affects the quality of concrete and construction schedules. A review regarding the need for studying the cement admixture compatibility is summarized in this paper.
