High-performance concrete can be produced through the use of low w/c ratio, pozzolanic materials, packing aggregates densely, and improve transition zone strength. Superplasticizers reduce water content by dispersing cement particles and maintain the required workability. Concerning pozzolanic materials, it improves ...

Effects of Excess Water in Concrete Mix
The presence of excessive water in a concrete mix although may facilitate the easy placement of concrete but it also lowers the quality of the overall product. The damage to concrete structures due to excessive water in a concrete mix ...
What is the Right Water-Cement Ratio for Mix Design?
A right water-cement ratio for concrete design will influence the compressive strength, permeability and the overall durability of the concrete structure. The idea of w/c ratio is that more the value, greater is the water content in the concrete and ...
