Abstract
Recently admixtures had made a major importance in the concrete manufacturing. These admixtures materials ranged from blood in the history to the recent retarding agents. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using safety matches powder as admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete and temperature emitted due to chemical reaction to the normal Portland cement. Using safety matches powder the temperature emitted due to exothermal reaction of concrete has reduced. This gives better results hence we can use this safety matches powder as an admixture where the reacting temperature and the emitting temperature place a crucial role in construction and maintenance.
Highlights
A material other than water, aggregates, or cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar to control setting and early hardening, workability or to provide additional cementing properties
Safety matches powder used as a chemical admixture the absorbing temperature properties and transmitting temperatures of concrete has reduced
The amount of hair admixture was calculated from the following equation, Volume of powder used =

The properties commonly modified are the heat hydration, excel rate or retard setting time, workability, water reduction, dispersion and air entertainment impermeability and duration factors.
