Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI 212.3R-16 is a standard titled "Report on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete." The report provides a comprehensive review of various categories and types of chemical admixtures used in concrete technology. These chemical admixtures are classified into 12 groups, including air-entraining, water-reducing, accelerating, set-retarding, workability-retaining, shrinkage-reducing, and corrosion-inhibiting, among others.
The standard emphasizes the importance of properly proportioned concrete mixtures that are compatible with the intended use and environment. It highlights the benefits of using chemical admixtures for different professionals involved in the concrete industry, such as concrete contractors, producers, and design professionals.
The report also addresses the sustainability of chemical admixtures and their role in sustainable construction. It mentions the use of finely divided mineral admixtures like fly ash or pozzolans in other ACI standards.
