The basic feature characterising the concrete’s quality and its usefulness for a structure is compressive strength. However, other features, such as frost resistance, absorbability, tightness, abrasiveness, decide on the durability of concrete in the structure as well. The paper presents the results of tests conducted on an ecological air entraining agent applied as a concrete mix admixture. The air entrainment of a concrete mix is aimed at entraining additional air pores with appropriate shape, size, and distribution into the concrete structure. The air entrainment is one of the main technological processes aimed at improving the concrete’s resistance to destructive effect of frost [1,2,3,4].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
