Study of Air Entrained Concrete with Various Types of Air Entraining Admixtures Ondřej Pikna1,a*, Martin Ťažký1,b, Rudolf Hela1,c 1 Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Institute of Technology of Building aondrapikna@gmail.com, btazky.m@fce.vutbr.cz, chela.r@fce.vutbr.cz Keywords: Air entraining admixtures, pores, micropores, fine aggregate Abstract: In current concrete practice, several types of air entraining admixtures are used.
Among the most stressed concrete are often structural parts of transport infrastructure such as bridge decks, concrete in highway engineering or precast concrete goods directly exposed to deicing salts (concrete blocks, flat pavements, concrete curbs, bollards, etc.).

Specific Bamboo species, being a fast-growing and eco-friendly natural resource is an excellent material that can be used in different areas of engineering aiming at the use for sustainable practices.
In civil industry, bamboo is extremely valuable due to its low cost production, handling and disposal and due to its fast growth rate which generates biodegradable waste.
Its replacement for steel in concrete has been considered in civil construction due to its strength.
A proposal to address this issue is to use "engineering bamboo", where the bamboo matrix is filled with nanostructures material to improve the physical, chemical and mechanical properties.
