Abstract
Geographically speaking, Kashmir is located in a region where weather conditions remain adverse. The fluctuation of the temperature remains in flux. Especially, during winter temperature often goes down below 00 C. So, concreating seems maximum constraints during winter at the places like Kashmir where temperature is too low. Keeping in view, the present review was intended to explore how the anti-freezing admixtures affect the concrete properties as reported in previous existing research; so as to investigate or leave the scope for further research on the mitigation of these adverse effects. In the same consonance, many researchers have observed the effect of Sodium nitrite, Potassium carbonate, urea, calcium nitrite etc. with strong resistance. So, trends of previous research studies have been analysed and the authors have made their best efforts to explore and update the knowledge of various admixtures and their effects on concrete in prevailing similar weather conditions as that of Kashmir.
