Abstract

Throughout the world, sustainable development is one of key factor and challenge covering the needs of human
begin such as energy, food, transportation, industrial and natural resource. More ever it is more important for future
development to protect the natural resources and environmental qualities. It is known to everyone that 0.9 metric ton of
carbon die oxide was produced by manufacturing of 1 metric ton of cement which is very harmful to health condition. In
order to overcome this type of issue we must reduce use of mortar and concrete work. The best way to replace the cement is
use of different admixture in concrete and mortar. In this review paper the admixture used in construction work is
superplasticizers. The reduction in water cement ratio, high performance concrete and self-compacting concrete production
is due to addition of admixture (superplasticizers) to the concrete. It is indeed know that by decreasing water cement ration
the concrete strength increase with increase in stiffness of mixture. But in world most of construction companies having lack
of knowledge to use the Plasticizers at right way and right time. Therefore it was recommended to use the Superplasticizer in
concrete at right time and right procedure to achieve max effectiveness
