The application and dozes shall be as per manufacturers specification. 2.8.3.2 Finely Divided mineral admixtures a) CEMENTITIOUS Natural Cements like Hydraulic lime, slag cements (mixtures of blast furnace slag and lime) and granulated blast furnace slag. POZZOLANIC A Siliceous or siliceous and aluminium material which in itself possesses little or no. cementitious value, but will, in finely divided form and in presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties, e.g. Fly ashes, volcanic glass, diatomaceous earth and certain shales and clays either heat treated or natural.

c)

These being extremely fine powers, their mineral admixtures will influence the fresh paste in a manner similar to cement. They can be used to augment the cement in mixtures deficient in fines. Many concretes contain large amount of Portland cement than necessary for strength requirements to provide workability or pumpability. A portion or all of this excess cement may be replaced with a suitable mineral admixture. They are usually used in the proportion of 15-35% by weight of the cement and in proportioning the concrete should be considered as part of the cementing medium, provided they are uniformly blended with cement.

RAPDRP/Part B

PART-VI (FINAL)

M-12 of 43

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION for CIVIL WORKS

The placability of concrete containing blast furnace slag is generally greater than indicated by static slump test or water / cement ratio. In medium or rich concretes, the increase in water requirements caused by their use may reduce strength. Pozzolanic admixtures usually increase the strength of concrete especially at later ages. The addition of fly-ash, natural pozzolana and granulated slag in sufficient quantities will increase the sulphate resistance of concrete. 2.8.3.3 Accelerating admixtures 1) Calcium Chlorides will also affect the following properties : a) May increase drying, shrinkage and creep. The longer the concrete is allowed to cure, the less will be the effect on shrinkage and creep. May lower the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing and to attack by sulphates and other injurious solutions. May increase the rate of temperature residue to the heat of hydration and in large sections may therefore increase the stresses caused by thermal contraction. Can cause corrosion of adequately embedded reinforcing steel in the concrete. Where large concentrations of stray currents are present, such as in concrete used in structures for electric railroads, power houses or electrolytic reduction plants. Galvanised metal embedded in concrete containing calcium chloride may be expected to corrode at an accelerated rate. Combinations of metals such as aluminium alloy, conduit and steel reinforcing should not be used in concrete containing calcium chloride as electrolytic corrosion may take place.

b)

c)

d)

e) f)

Calcium Chloride will not increase the flexural strength of concrete to the same degree as the compressive strength and decreases in the flexural strength are generally obtained at or after 28 days. The total chloride content in the concrete should be limited as specified in IS : 456 (2000). 2) Calcium aluminate cement blended with Portland cement : Strength will be reduced significantly, shrinkage and swelling on immersion will increase drastically and durability will be poor.

2.8.3.4 Air-entraining admixture a) The water reduction is possible due to entrained air. The volume of this water reduction is less than the volume of entrained air, therefore to compensate for the volume of entrained air, the fine aggregate volume must also be reduced. Despite reduction in the water / cement ratio usually obtained by the use of air entrainers, it may reduce strength, particularly, in concretes of high or moderate cement content.

b)

2.8.3.5

Water reducing and set controlling admixtures a) Admixtures of the Hydroxylated carboxylic acid type may tend to increase the bleeding rate and segregation in concrete deficient in fines (aggregate fines of cement). When prolonged retardation is employed care must be taken to prevent the drying of the concrete. The water reducing admixture should be added at the same time in the mixing cycle, in order to obtain a uniform setting time among the batches. Then admixtures in many cases will increase the slump loss. Increases in the Flexural strength of concrete containing water reducing admixtures are usually attained but they are not proportionately as great as the increase in the compressive strength.

b) c)

d) e)

2.8.4 2.8.4.1

General Suitable remedial measures as recommended by the manufacturers and approved by the WBSEDCL shall be taken to eliminate any disadvantages arising from the mix of admixtures.
