Introduction
Concrete – a mixture of fine aggregate (sand),
coarse aggregate (eg, limestone), cement,
water, air and admixtures.
Admixtures are materials, other than cement,
aggregate and water, that are added to
concrete either before or during its mixing to
alter its properties, such as workability, curing
temperature range, set time or color.
