CIVL 3137 5
Air Entrainment Goals

uniform dispersion in cement paste
air content = 9% of mortar volume
one billion bubbles per cubic yard

CIVL 3137 7
Air Entrainment
In Roman times, ox blood was used to improvedurability (though I’m not sure they knew why).
Rediscovery in modern times due to accidentalobservation that freeze-thaw resistant sectionsof some roads had been made with cement thathad been contaminated with beef tallow addedas a grinding aid

CIVL 3137 15
Set Accelerators
Typically used in cold weather to reduce settingand curing times; also used to speed removal offormwork
Salts (calcium chloride, sodium chloride) arecheap set accelerators but can corrode rebarand reduce resistance to sulfate attack
Nitrates and nitrites are less effective and moreexpensive but are also non-corrosive
![Page 15: 13 - Concrete Admixtures - Memphis](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012515/618f6053660b103f1b5ffe56/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CIVL 3137 16
Set Retarders
Typically used in hot weather to slow setting andcuring so concrete can be finished; also used inmass pours to eliminate cold joints
Sugars, starches, and cellulose derivatives areabsorbed onto the surface of cement particles todelay hydration of the calcium silicates
As little as 0.05% by mass will delay setting forfour hours; 1% prevents setting completely
![Page 16: 13 - Concrete Admixtures - Memphis](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012515/618f6053660b103f1b5ffe56/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CIVL 3137 17
Stabilizers
Lets leftover concrete be returned to plant andreused the next day
Forms protective barrier around cement grains toprevent hydration of both calcium silicates andcalcium aluminates for up to 72 hours
Activator dissolves the protective barrier and letssetting proceed in a normal manner with no harmto the concrete
