Abstract

Polycarboxylate type superplasticizers(PC) have got widely used for making not only high performance concrete but low grade concrete as well. It is known that fluidity of cement with PC is affected by the characteristics of cement especially sulphate ion concentration and hydration activity. But the characteristics of PC also affect the fluidity. The fluidity of cement mortar with various types of PC was measured and critical dosage(CD) and dispersing ability(DA) was calculated. CD and DA is strongly dependent on the type of PC. And the variation of fluidity on time was affected by the type of PC also. So, it is advisable to investigate the property of PC before production of concrete and adjust it to meet the requirements of concrete depending on the materials, the time of transport and so on.
