Abstract
Purpose: Sustainable environment could be achieved with constructions using concrete that
generates little heat. One way to achieve this is by using water reducing admixtures. More so,
there is coming a time in some parts of Nigeria where normal strength concrete will be less
required due to unavailable land space and high-rise buildings will require high or ultra-high
strength concrete, produced with the aid of water reducing admixtures. Therefore, this paper
reviews the past, present and future of concrete admixtures (water reducing admixtures) and
the need to develop effective eco-friendly (natural) admixtures.
