In most air-entrained concrete, values between these limits (based on total concrete volume) have been the aim. (ACI 211.1 considers different exposure conditions and makes some allowance …

Air voids, however, also improve the workability of concrete. Therefore, air-entrained concrete at a lower w/cm can be prepared to provide similar workability to non-airentrained concrete, thus …

Sep 1, 2024 · The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards, technical …

For a given required average strength, ACI 211.1 recommends a substantially lower w/cm for air-entrained concrete than for non-air-entrained concrete. These values should be used until …

A. Air is entrained in concrete to increase its resistance to disintegration when exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing in a critically saturated condition and to minimize the scaling that …

Jul 1, 1992 · Non-air-entrained high-strength concrete specimens with 0.35 water-cementitious materials ratio and 10 percent silica fume by mass of portland cement were cured for 7, 14, 21, …

What is an air-entraining admixture? Q. What is an air-entraining admixture? A. It is an admixture that causes the development of a system of microscopic air bubbles in cement paste during …

Therefore, it could be concluded that unless otherwise required by the construction documents, non-air-entrained concrete not exposed to freezing and thawing does not have to be tested for …
