What is the additive used to increase concrete strength?

 

[Dnyan Deshmukh]

Concrete strength can be increased by reduction in water cement ratio, more is the water in concrete, less will be the strength for the given mix and vice a versa.

So to increase the strength of the concrete without increasing cementitious materials, water cement ratio is lowered by introducing high water reducing agents in concrete.

So superplasicizers will help in increasing the strength of the concrete.
