Mechanical properties of lightweight foamed concrete
The addition of superplasticizer yields best performance in all 28-days strength of lightweight foamed concrete. 1.0% addition of superplasticizer produces best result with 24.5MPa of compressive...
Evaluation of the superplasticizer effect on the
Superplasticizer (SP) is important for enhancing the workability and setting time of concrete in hot weather. Hence, an expe-ri-mental investigation was conducted to determine the optimum dosage...
Superplasticizer
Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers retard the curing of concrete. [1]
Effect of Superplasticizer and NaOH Molarity on Workability
Super plasticizer (Sika Visco Crete-3430) was used to increase the workability to the extent required for self compactability of Geopolymer Concrete. The utilization of Viscosity Modifying Admixture (VMA) gives more possibilities of controlling segregation (stability) and homogeneity of the mix [20]. The amount of SP used was in
