Experimental Study on Properties of Concrete Using Admixture as Penetron

Abstract :

This research investigates the effects of the waterproofing admixture Penetron Admix on the fresh and hardened properties of structural concrete and assesses whether the product is suitable for use on construction projects. Many tests were conducted by the researchers by using a grade 25 control mix containing different percentages of admixtures and keeping the water content ratio constant. The results showed that Penetron Admix enhanced the properties of the concrete. Even with the small percentage increase of 0.8% dosage, there was an increase in compressive strength of 15%. The results of 28 days of curing period were significantly more than 7 days of curing for compressive strength. At a standard dosage of 0.8% increase in compaction, a factor was observed in the range of 0.92-0.98 for compaction factor value. Permeability was decreased by 79% with the standard dosage of 0.8was an increase in compressive strength of 15%. The results of 28 days of curing period were significantly more than 7 days of curing for compressive strength. A higher dosage was even more beneficial for the strength, but with a higher dosage, the cost of the concrete will also increase. An increase in workability was also observed with 2% use of admixture and the initial setting time was increased by 30 minutes and the final setting time was increased by 1 hour. At a standard dosage of 0.8% increase in compaction, a factor was observed in the range of 0.92-0.98 for compaction factor value. Permeability was decreased by 79% with the standard dosage of 0.8.
