Abstract: The effect of cement tricalcium aluminate (C3A) content on the properties of cement paste, mortar, and concrete mixtures containing high-range water-reducing (HRWR) admixture was investigated. Three commercial Type I cements ...

Abstract: In order to improve the fresh properties and freeze-thaw resistance of cementitious systems, water-reducing and air-entraining admixtures are actively used in concrete mixtures. Generally, these mentioned admixtures are ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect was investigated of side chain length changes of polycarboxylate-ether–based high-range water–reducing (HRWR) admixture on fresh properties, compressive strength, and water adsorption capacity of ...
