RESEARCH COMMITTEE

 

Subcommittee on Design, Material Characterization, and Performance Evaluation of Concrete with Admixtures

(Subcommittee 333)

 

Recently, the increased awareness of low environmental impacts and efficient resource utilization has resulted in a high necessity for applicability of admixture material. For this reason, the 333 committee was established and started its activities since September 2004, aiming to clarify the relationship among various mineral/chemical admixtures, concrete quality and its performance.
