Title |
A study on the fluidity performance and high strength properties of superplasticized concrete |
Abstract |
The dispersion effect of superplasticizers is to expose a greater surface area of cement to hydration, which progresses therefore at a higher rate in the early stages and may also contribute to the improved strength.It is the aim of this study to analyze and investigate experimentally the fluidity performance and high strength properties of superplasticized concrete for the practical applicability of the production of concrete of normal workability but with an extremely high strength owing to a very substantial reduction in the water cement ratio by the considerable water reduction effect in the quantity of mixing water. |
