Waterproofing Admixtures For Concrete
One method that can simplify the protective process is to make concrete with admixtures that reduce its permeability—in effect to make the concrete itself waterproof. A variety of such admixtures are now on the market, and ACI Committee 212, Chemical Admixtures, offers some guidance on their use in its 2010 revision of ACI 212.3 …

Understanding Polymers in Concrete
There are many reasons to add polymers to concrete overlay mixes. Polymers improve adhesion to the old surface, flexural strength, tensile strength, and freeze/thaw durability. They also reduce permeability, the intrusion of chlorides, salts, and carbon dioxide. They increase abrasion resistance and can be applied in very thin cross …

Concrete Mix Ratio: Types, Grades, & Design
For M 15 grade of concrete mix, the ratio is 1:2:4, which means 1 part cement, 2 part sand, and 4 part aggregate used to prepare concrete mix with water. If you are using M 20 grade of concrete then you have to use a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3. In which 1 is part of cement, 1.5 is part of sand, and 3 is part of cement. Grade of Concrete.

What is Concrete? Composition & Types of Concrete
Concrete Definition: Concrete, an artificial stone-like mass, is the composite material that is created by mixing binding material (cement or lime) along with the aggregate ( sand, gravel, stone, brick chips, etc.), water, admixtures, etc in specific proportions. The strength and quality are dependent on the mixing proportions.

What is Concrete Retarder
Retarders are additives that slow the setting of cement paste and, by extension, mixtures like mortar or concrete that contains cement. Concrete retarders are also known as retarding admixtures or just retarders. Adding a retarder to the concrete mix can delay the setting time by up to an hour. They slow the hardening process in warmer weather ...
