The Effect of Mineral Additives on the Properties of Fresh and Hardened Concrete : Undergraduate Thesis

Beton je građevinski materijal koji nastaje miješanjem većeg broja komponenti: veziva, agregata i vode. Pri izradi betona koriste se još i dodaci ili aditivi koji se dodaju betonu da bi se dobila određena svojstva kao npr. sporije vezivanje, veća čvrstoća itd. U eksperimentalnom dijelu rada analizirali su se rezultati na betonu bez dodataka te na betonu s mineralnim dodacima. Kao dodaci koristili su se metakaolin, silicijska prašina te leteći pepeo.Concrete is a building material that is formed by mixing a large number of components: binders, aggregates and water. In preparing concrete are used such supplements or additives are added to the concrete to obtain certain properties such as, slower curing, greater strength and so on. In the experimental part of the analyzed results to the concrete without additives, the concrete with mineral additives. As additives used were metakaolin, silica fume and fly ash
