Abstract

A literature-based study has been carried out to review the impact of chemical admixtures on various properties of high-performance concrete (HPC). Over the past few years, HPC has been allied with much workable, stronger, durable and sustainable building materials. HPC contains the same basic constituents as traditional concrete, but it has a totally unlike microstructure. Some important properties of HPC are low water-binding ratio, high workability, low heat of hydration, high strength, low permeability, high modulus of elasticity, high durability, resistance to chemical attack, cost-effectiveness, etc. Chemical admixtures greatly influence the HPC as compared to conventional concrete. This paper includes the usage of chemical admixtures in preparing high-performance concrete and shows their impacts on various mechanical and physical properties. The study aims to perceive that chemical admixtures switch the properties of concrete by changing its durability, strength, water-resistance capacity, workability and many others. In addition, this paper has tried to recognize the effective dosage of chemical admixture, which needs to be endorsed, else, the concrete’s properties take a negative turn. Numerous chemical admixtures are available that boost the various properties of HPC. This study also shows the execution of certain vital chemical admixtures on HPC.
