Physical-Mechanical and Structure-Forming Parameters of Concrete

Abstract

This article describes a three-factor experiment, inscribing three different additives improving the characteristics of concrete and reinforced concrete. The experiments explain the physical and mechanical properties of concrete, the mechanism of action of chemical admixtures resisting the corrosive influence on structures, the kinetics of corrosion, and the structure-forming parameters when using each of the additives. The experiments also show the performance of the admixtures on the mobility and workability of the concrete mixture. Conclusions are drawn, that each of the three additives acts differently on the structural formation of concrete.
