Admixture Analysis Report

I. Objective

This report provides an overview of the analysis of admixtures used in cement and concrete, focusing on
their properties, applications, and impact on the final product. Admixtures are chemical additives that
modify the properties of concrete during its mixing, setting, and hardening stages. They are crucial for
achieving specific performance characteristics, enhancing durability, and optimizing the construction
process.

II. Chemical Analysis

The purpose of chemical analysis is to determine the chemical compound element in sample admixtures
and possible influence of chemical oxides in cement performance.

Sample tested in XRF analyzer (Epsilon 4 )

Table 1. – Results of chemical analysis

Chemical Analysis Results:

 High compound element of IRON OXIDE (Fe2O3) – influence to enhance some of the mechanical
properties of hardened concrete as compressive and flexure strength.

 SULFUR TRIOXIDE (SO3) - The increase of SO3 contents can activate pozzolanic reaction between Ca
(OH)2 – Calcium Hydroxide) which is the hydrating product of cement and fly-ash to increase the
cementitious performance.


 CALCIUM OXIDE – (Cao) – helps to improve performance and significantly improve compressive
strength.

III. Physical Analysis – Time Setting.

Setting Time: Admixtures can significantly influence the setting time of concrete, affecting the time
available for placing and finishing. This analysis involves measuring the initial and final setting times
using standard tests like the Vicat test. ASTM
