Features: This book introduces the main components, properties, and application technologies of 27 types of self-researched and developed admixtures in China in more than ten types of concrete, along with some application examples. The book also dedicates a separate chapter to explaining concrete quality defects related to admixtures and their prevention and control measures, as well as appendices and product introductions of certain admixture standards. For the second revised edition, the authors have thoroughly revised and supplemented the original content based on the recent development of admixture technology and newly issued relevant standards and specifications. Two new chapters, "Fundamentals of Admixture Engineering Application" and "Flocculants and Underwater Dispersed Concrete," have been added, and a comprehensive introduction is provided for new types of high-efficiency water-reducing admixtures and rapidly developing admixture varieties in recent years. This book is suitable for reading by concrete design and construction technical personnel, as well as for reference by those engaged in the development, testing, production, and management of concrete admixtures.
