Abstract

Abstract: Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material across the world. It is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with fluid cement that cures over time. Various types of admixtures are added to concrete mixtures in order to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing; and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations. In this study, an attempt has been made to obtain the better type of concrete sample by adding different types of admixtures. Concrete samples are prepared by using two types of admixture i.e. chemical and economical admixtures. Slump test was performed in fresh concrete samples and Compressive strength test has been conducted for the hardened concrete samples with both chemical and economical admixture after 7 days and 28 days.
