Effect of Superplasticizers to Enhance the Properties
The experiments were classified into two phases: the first phase focused on the effects of superplasticizer admixture on workability and compressive strength, and the second phase determined...
ADVA 198 Data Sheet | Resource | GCP Applied Technologies
Product Description ADVA 198 superplasticizer is a polycarboxlate-based high-range water-reducing admixture specifically formulated to meet the needs of the concrete industry. It is a low viscosity liquid, which has been formulated by the manufacturer for use as received.
Superplasticizer compatibility with cement properties – A
The tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A) phase of cement is one of the most important factors affecting the cement–water reducing admixture/superplasticizer compatibility. The average C 3 A content in cement is 4–11% but it is the most highly reactive phase in clinker and the one with the greatest affinity for superplasticizer admixtures.
Combined effect of mineral admixtures with superplasticizers
The pastes were made in Hobart type mixer with a capacity of 5 l, and using two different speeds (low and high).The procedure used in all test was as follows: a dry cement and mineral admixture were firstly mixed at low speed for 1 min, then 2/3 part of water was added and the paste was mixed for 2 more minutes at low speed; finally, 1/3 part of water and superplasticizer were added and the
- What is superplasticizer admixture?
- Superplasticizer (SP) is one type of the admixtures, which was used for this study to modify the properties of concrete. Correct composition of admixture is important as usage of incorrect admixture, mix proportion and improper dosage of SP might cause high-slump concrete, bleeding, segregation and cracking due to shrinkage.
- What are concrete superplasticizing admixtures?
- Concrete superplasticizing admixtures are additives which when added in the concrete help in improving the consistency and flow of the concrete mix. Thus, allowing easy flow & spreading of concrete with addition of extra water.
- What is a superplasticizer in concrete?
- Superplasticizers allow a 30% or more reduction in water content. It is chemical admixtures that are added to the concrete to improve their flowing ability, they help to reduce the amount of water in the concrete and to improve the strength and durability of concretes. They achieve a reduction in water content without loss of workability.
- What is water reducing admixture & superplasticizer?
- As one of the concrete admixtures, water reducing admixtures and superplasticizers are usually used to reduce the mixing water volume and improve the performance of the harden concrete while maintaining better workability of the fresh concrete.
- What is a superplasticizer?
- Superplasticizer is chemical admixtures added to the concrete to improve their flowing ability also known as high range water reducers.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) represents the latest innovation in concrete admixture technology. Unlike traditional superplasticizers, PCE offers unparalleled control over concrete's rheological properties, making it essential in the production of high-performance concrete.
