  The concept of using admixtures in concrete mixture can be seen in the Figure 2 below. As can be seen from the figure; the adding of admixture into concrete mixture at the same slump with normal concrete by reducing used water can increase the concrete compression strength. The concrete compression strength also can be increase by adding cement as the picture shows; however adding cement will reduce workability of concrete due to reduce of concrete slump. Even using cement exceed from the needed amount will generate a new problem in concrete itself, i.e. it will generate shrinkage and creep in concrete at earlier time; therefore it will reduce concrete compression strength (Haidar, 2002).
