Set retarder

Hardening accelerator

Water-reducing admixture

Air entraining admixture (correct)

What do anti-freeze and rust-resistant agents do in reinforced concrete?

Study Notes

Reinforced concrete is a composite material made of concrete and steel.
Glass fiber or polypropylene can also be used in specialized applications.
Concrete admixture is added to improve performance.
Water-reducing admixtures can be ordinary, effective, hardening, retarder, or air entraining.
Air entraining admixture improves workability, impermeability, and frost resistance but reduces strength.
Hardening accelerator accelerates early strength development and can be inorganic, organic, or inorganic-organic compound.
Set retarder delays setting time and common types include calcium lignosulfonate and molasses.
Flash setting admixture promotes rapid hardening.
Expansion agent produces shrinkage compensating or micro-expansion.
Anti-freeze and rust-resistant agents reduce liquid freezing point and corrosion to steel bars, respectively.
