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 3, English, - air%2Dentrained%20concrete
