Some of them also work well as anti-frost admixtures for concrete. They reduce the moisture absorption of concrete and increase its durability. For this reason, they are used for the production of concrete exposed to unfavourable conditions. Concrete additives – microsilica. Concrete additives include fine grained and inorganic additives.

The durability of concrete moves vertically upward by this process. It helps the concrete to dry faster and tighten it up. The behavior of concrete can be fixed by adding in the additives. The base of the concrete can either be liquid or powdery. When the concrete additive is in the form of liquid it can be used directly as a supplement.

Portland cement concrete usually does not have good resistance to acids. Some weak acids, however, can be tolerated, particularly if the exposure is occasional ().There are essentially three ways to improve concrete's resistance to acids, (1) choosing the right concrete composition to make it as impermeable as possible, (2) isolating it from the environment by using a suitable coating or (3 ...

Freeze-Thaw Resistance. When water freezes, it expands about 9 percent. As the water in moist concrete freezes it produces pressure in the pores of the concrete. If the pressure developed exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, the cavity will dilate and rupture. The accumulative effect of successive freeze-thaw cycles and disruption of ...

The durability of concrete is significantly influenced by its permeability, which, in turn, is influenced by, among other things, the water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) of the concrete. As a result, the w/cm of concrete intended to have low permeability is generally limited by code and specifications to no more than 0.45 and, quite often ...
