    There are different types of admixtures are used in the concrete for various requirement. Here i list out the types
    1. Accelerating admixtures.
    2. Retrading admixtures.
    3. water reducing admixtures.
    4. Air entraining admixtures.
    5. super plasticizing admixtures. etc.
    Every admixtures having their own property.
    For eg: Accelerating admixtures used to increase the rate of hydration, shorten the time of set, increase the rate of hardening & strength.
