chemicals which are added to the mixing water of concrete in order to lower the freezing point of the aqueous solution. They have been used even at temperatures as lowas −30 °C. The admixtures suchas calcium chloride, calcium nitrite and calcium nitrate that contain the same cations as ...
In addition to its role in concrete, calcium chloride is also used as an antifreeze agent in construction materials, preventing the formation of ice crystals that could compromise the structural integrity of the mix. As infrastructure development continues to grow globally, particularly in emerging ...
aConcrete was manufactured with Portland cement CEM I 52.5 R according to European Standard EN 197-1 [14]. Siliceous sand and aggregates were used with a maximum aggregate size of 8 mm. Calcium chloride was added to the mixture to depassivate the steel. Set retarding admixture was also ...
Even in 1981, Ramachandran published a book entitled Calcium Chloride in Concrete Science and Technology. However, despite all of these research efforts, Ramachandran (1995) admitted: “Many aspects of the action of calcium chloride are controversial, ambiguous and incompletely understood. In spite of...

In recent years, use of nanomaterials has emerged as a promising way to improve the performance of concrete by changing the concrete matrix at nano levels [15,16]. Nano particles have a high surface area to volume ratio; thus, they are more reactive than micro size materials, providing ...
