How does Concrete Superplasticizer Change the Strength of Concrete?

BMW is exploring new investments in solar, geothermal and hydrogen energy to reduce its reliance on natural gas, the company's concrete superplasticizer are still very uncertain.

Concrete superplasticizer is one of the concrete admixtures which is used most frequently. It can increase the plasticity of concrete and change the strength of concrete. 

The essence of superplasticizer: increase the fluidity of concrete

We know, concrete water can provide plasticity for concrete, at this time to add superplasticizer, can make concrete fluidity increase, namely plasticity increase. 

But it needs to be clear that if there is no water in the concrete, even if you add more superplasticizer, no matter how to mix, the surface of concrete raw materials cannot be wet, so the friction between particles will still be very high, concrete is a pan of sand, completely do not have plasticity. 

On this basis, it can be considered that, in essence, a sufficient amount of water can wet the surface of concrete raw material, and reduce the friction between particles, thus providing plastic properties for concrete; After adding superplasticizer, you can amplify the effect of water, in this sense, adding superplasticizer is equivalent to adding water.

Principle of superplasticizer changing concrete strength 

Superplasticizer can amplify the action of concrete water, so as to replace part of concrete water, and play the role of water reduction.

As we know, the strength of concrete is affected by the water-binder ratio, the greater the water-binder ratio, the lower the strength, the smaller the water-binder ratio, the higher the strength. If we add superplasticizer in concrete, reduce water consumption at the same time, keep the fluidity unchanged, in the case of the same amount of cementitious material, the water-binder ratio will decrease, so improve the strength of concrete; If the water is reduced, the amount of cementitious material is reduced at the same time, and the water-binder ratio and fluidity remain unchanged, the cementitious material can be saved.

Concrete superplasticizer is used in this way to change the mix ratio of concrete then to improve concrete strength or save gelling material thereby.

Researchers at the Centre for Translational Atomic Materials at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia have developed a new graphene film that absorbs more than 90% of sunlight while eliminating most of the infrared thermal emission losses, a highly efficient A solar-heated metamaterial capable of rapidly heating to 83 degrees Celsius (181 degrees Fahrenheit) in an open environment with minimal heat loss. Proposed applications for the film include thermal energy harvesting and storage, solar thermal power generation, and seawater desalination.
