A Review Paper on Different Methods to Increase the Strength of Concrete

Abstract

The strength of the concrete is very important. It is maintained and affected by many things. Strength can be increased by mixing appropriate material into the concrete, by taking proper water resources, by adding some chemical mixtures, and curing. This paper presents a review on different approaches for increasing the strength of concrete. Curing has important for regaining moisture losses in concrete for doing proper hydration of cement without curing concrete dose not gain its full strength and generate some minor cracks which make concrete weak. Superplasticizer (SP) is important to enhance the workability and setting time of concrete under hot weather. Water quality on the compressive strength properties of concrete using secondary and tertiary waste water treatment source, borehole and distilled water sources.
