The influence of universal additive best on the concrete properties

In order to improve the properties of concrete, various chemical additives are introduced into the concrete mix which can significantly reduce the level of costs per unit of production, improve the quality and effectiveness of concrete and reinforced concrete structures, increase their service life as well as buildings and structures as a whole. This paper presents the results of the regulation of the setting speed, strength and frost resistance of concrete modified with the universal additive BEST LLC “Makra”. Portland cement CEM I 42.5 B of Mordovcement OJSC was used as a binder; the aggregates were enriched quartz sand from the Khromtsovskoye deposit with a size of 2.4 and granite rubble of the Orsk deposit of 5-20 mm with water absorption of 0.2%.The effect of the universal BEST additive on the construction and technical properties of concrete was studied by determining the binder system setting speed and the hardened composition strength characteristics. Data analysis showed that the introduction of a regulator in the amount of 0...
