Chemical admixtures for concrete
TLDR
In this article, the authors provide an overview of concrete mixtures with information on the types, mode of action, effect and application of the major types of chemical admixtures in the following sections: water-reducing agents, air-entraining agents, concrete waterproofers; accelerators; application of admixtures; and, analysis of hardened concrete for admixture type and quantity.Abstract:
Following the substantial increase in the use of chemical admixtures in concrete, the book provides information on materials of this type. Details are given of the specification, use and design of concrete mixtures with information on the types, mode of action, effect and application of the major types of chemical admixtures in the following sections: water-reducing agents; air-entraining agents; concrete waterproofers; accelerators; application of admixtures; and, analysis of hardened concrete for admixture type and quantity.

Chemical admixture-cement interactions: Phenomenology and physico-chemical concepts
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the chemistry and phenomenology of cement hydration is presented, drawing mainly from: (1) the chemistry of cement, and (2) a review of the various types of molecular processes in which admixture molecules can be involved at the solid-solution interface; (3) selected experimental data on the influence of water reducers and superplasticizers.
