Testing Concrete Mixing Water Quality

Concrete mixing water is a very important factor in concrete production to ensure workability and hydration. In particular, the amount of concrete mixing water should be 25% of its weight. The higher the use of more than 25% water in the amount of concrete water, the more voids it causes in the concrete.

Concrete Mixing Water should be tested at regular intervals in accredited laboratories. The purposes of using Concrete Mixing Water can be listed as follows:

Mixing water: mixing cement and aggregate with concrete
Maintenance water: application to the surface of fresh concrete
Washer water: cleaning aggregates used in concrete production

The analyzes performed on Concrete Mixed Water within the scope of TS EN 1008 standard are as follows.
