Features: This book applies relevant knowledge from materials science of cement concrete, surface chemistry, mechanics, and other disciplines to comprehensively and systematically introduce the fundamental theories and application techniques of concrete admixtures. It focuses on the synthesis and formulation techniques of concrete admixtures and their interaction mechanisms with cementitious materials, as well as admixture application guidelines, construction specifications, and curing measures for admixture-added concrete. Compared to existing books on admixtures or concrete, this book is the first to propose, based on the concept of "performance-based design" for concrete, technical approaches to achieving the durability and volume stability of concrete structures by incorporating admixtures. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in the research and development, production, and application of concrete admixtures, as well as for engineering technicians involved in concrete structure design and construction. It can also serve as a teaching reference for faculty and students in relevant professional schools and universities.
