The additive act in three ways. Filler; Nucleating; Pozzolanic; 1. Filler: These additives/admixtures are finer than cement, so when added to concrete they occupy the small pores previously left vacant. 2. Nucleating: These fine particles accelerate the rate of hydration and precipitation starts. 3. Pozzolanic:

The most common mineral admixtures used in concrete are fly ash, slag, metakaoline and silica fume. The addition of mineral admixtures reduces the permeability and improves the durability of concrete structures. In addition, the heat of hydration of concrete is considerably reduced due to the addition of mineral admixtures The use of …
