Guide for the Use of High-Range Water-Reducing Admixtures (Superplasticizers) in Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI 212.4R-04 standard provides comprehensive information about the applications, uses, and effects of high-range water-reducing admixtures in both freshly mixed and hardened concrete. This standard is specifically designed to be utilized by various stakeholders in the concrete industry, including concrete suppliers, contractors, designers, and specifiers.
The standard covers a wide range of topics related to high-range water-reducing admixtures, including the different types of admixtures available, their compatibility with various types of cement and other concrete ingredients, and their impact on concrete workability, strength, and durability. It also discusses the appropriate dosages and methods of introducing these admixtures into the concrete mix.
Moreover, the standard provides guidance on quality control measures to ensure the effectiveness and consistency of concretes containing high-range water-reducing admixtures. This includes recommendations for testing and monitoring concrete properties, such as slump, setting time, air content, and compressive strength.
