Comparison of Performance of Admixtures on Workability
Conventional concrete differs from the modern concrete with the use of fifth additive known as admixtures. These admixtures change the desired properties in an unimaginable manner. In the present study, effect of low, medium and high end admixtures is considered to evaluate their performance with varying dosages. Marsh cone studies followed by setting time were studied following IS procedures. This study finds the range of dosages of admixtures for better performance and taking workability into consideration. Water–cement ratios ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 and dosage varying from 0.3 to 1.5% by weight of cement including a control were considered in the study. Results are comparable with their performances for suitable recommendations for the field studies.
