Abstract

The influence of a new generation superplasticizer (SP) type, air-entraining admixture (AEA), viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) and anti-foaming admixture (AFA) on the air-content, workability of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is analyzed in the paper. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the admixtures on porosity and pore size distribution of SCC at constant water on cement ratio, type and volume of aggregate and volume of cement paste. The compressive strength, frost resistance and durability coefficient (DF), parameters of the air-voids of hardened SCC are also investigated.
