Effect of waterproofing admixtures on concrete
Concrete is an engineering material consisting of cementing substances, aggregates, water and a controlled amount of entrained air that is mainly needed in the construction industry. However, the ability of water to be transported into concrete seems to be a major problem with the ensuing deteriorat...
