The article collects and structures information about the effect of chemical additives on the properties of concrete and concrete mix. The relevance of topic is due to the fragmentation of the background information and the lack of data on the study of new additives. The presentation of information in the form of a morphological table simplifies the selection of additives and reduces the risk of errors in the selection of concrete composition. Mineral additives were not considered in this article.
