What is meant by the Grade of Concrete? The grade of concrete is defined as the minimum strength the concrete should have after the completion of 28 days of the construction period with proper quality control. It is denoted by MPa, where M stands for Mix and MPa denotes the overall strength. For example, for […]

In the context of construction and concrete technology, an admixture refers to a material other than water, aggregates, cement, used as an ingredient of concrete, and added to the batch immediately before or during its mixing. Admixtures are primarily used to modify the properties of fresh or hardened concrete. There are several types of admixtures,
