Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Air-entraining concretes. All normal concrete contains some air, usually between 0.5 and 1.0%. By the addition of a small amount of an air-entraining agent, the amount of air contained in the concrete may be materially increased to 10% or more (by volume) if desired. This extra air is present in the form of small, discrete air bubbles, which have a marked effect upon the workability, durability, and strength of the concrete. 2, record 2, English, - air%2Dentrained%20concrete

Les bétons qui entrent dans la constitution des chaussées très fréquentées sont caractérisés par leur grande compacité et par la grosseur importante du granulat. Dans certains cas, on introduit avec le ciment et l'eau de gâchage une certaine quantité d'une matière moussante [...] On obtient alors un béton aéré [...] 5, record 2, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20a%C3%A9r%C3%A9
