Amixture vs additive

  • Admixture
  1. Substance ( other than cement , water aggregates or rebar ) added during or immediately before mixing to improve / Alter the properties of concrete ( eg . accelerators )
  2. -note : doses are usually very small ( less than 1 % )
  • Effect very sensities to variation in dose
  • side effect
  1. Additive
  • Substance added by cement manufactureres to midify properties of cement ( eg. Gypsum )
