Influence of Air Content on the Compressive Strength of Concrete

Abstract:

The influence of air content on compressive strength of C20，C30，C40 and C50 concrete was investigated in this paper. The result shows that this relationship varied with concrete strength grade. For C20~C40 concrete, the air content increases with addition of air entraining agent, while a maximum air content value appears for C50 concrete. The compressive strength of C20 decrease slightly with the air content, on the other hand, that of C40 significantly decreases relatively.
