This study is to investigate the quality of superplasticizers in domestic market. Therefore, the physico-chemical characteristics, the fluidity characteristics of fresh cement paste and mortar were tested. Also fresh and hardened properties of mortars and concretes using these superplasticizers were tested. From these results, differences of quality among superplasticizers are checked clearly in low water/cement ratio. And it is concluded that several superplasticizers have better dispersion ability than others in every tests. It has known that all samples are naphtalene sulfornate formaldehede types by the UV(ultra-violet) test.

The effect of superplasticizers on the fluidity performance in fresh concrete and physical properties in hardened concrete have been analyzed and investigated under mix proportions of water cement ratio of 0.4, 0.6, crushed stone aggregates, and addition rates of superplasticizers of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 in the practical range. It is the aim of this study to provide the fundamental data on the workability improvement and engineering properties of crushed stone concrete using superplasticizers comparing with conventional concrete for the practical use and research data accumulation of superplastized concrete.

The effects of superplasticizers on fresh and hardened concrete were investigated. The experimental program included tests on the workability and slump loss, bleeding, setting time, air content, compressive, tensile and flexural strength, permeability, shrinkage, freeze-thaw durability and creep deformation. Properties of superplasticized concrete were compared with those of conventional and base concretes. Superplasticizers were observed to have an appreciable fluidifying action in fresh concrete. They permitted a significant water reduction while maintaining the same workability. Bleeding of superplasticized concrete was much lower than that of conventional concrete of the same consistency. This indicates that the use of superplasticizers did not affect the tendency of segregation of fresh concrete. The compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of superplasticized concrete were significantly higher than those of conventional concrete. The permeability and drying shrinkage and creep of superplasticized concrete were less than those of conventional concrete, but there were no significant differences between base and superplasticized concrete. Compared with base concrete, non-air-entrained superplasticized concrete had slightly higher freeze-thaw durability. and superplasticized concrete with an appropriate amount of entrained air Eave even better resistance to freezing and thawing.

In this study, the effect of superplasticizers on the dispersibility and hydration properties of cement with silica fume were investigated. Superplasticizers are used Naphthalene type, Ligno-sulfate type and polycarboxylate type. Compared with plastic viscosity of cement paste without superplasticizers(Plain), plastic viscosity of cement paste with superplasticizers are reduced and yield stress of cement pastes with each superplasticizer is increased rather than Plain. And then, plastic viscosity of cement paste with Naphthalene type superplasticizer was the least of all types. Compared with other two types, setting and hydration of cement paste with Polycarboxylate type(PC) superplasticizer is very fast. At compressive strength after 3-day, PC is higher than other two types, But, compressive strength of after 7-day and 28-day, PC is smaller than other two types.

This is the study on the performance of workability and engneering properties of flowing concrete using the superplasticizers, which are being used for control of the consistency of fresh concrete without modifying the properties of the hardened concrete and for production of high quality concrete at a low water-cement ratio. It is the aim of this study to analyze and investigate workability and engineering properties of flowing concrete according to the addition rate in poor and rich mix proportions of base concrete. Base on this fundamental investigation for the development of flowing concrete mix design, it could be drawn that the workability and engineering properties of flowing concreteare influenced greatly by mix proportion and dosage of superplasticizers.

The aim of this study is to develop High Performance Concrete, which can fill in every corner of forms without using any vibrators. In order to place concrete into reinforced members, concrete should have segregation resistance and high flowability. In this study, the binder of concrete, such as Ordinary Portland Cement, fly ash, and blast furnace slag, cement were mixed with the addition of superplasticizers and tested their flowability and segregation resistance using slump flow tester and L type flow tester. As a results, High Performance Concrete can be made using Portland blast furnace slag cement along with superplasticizers but the slump-loss of concrete is so large that measure should be made.

It is now increasingly recognized that the fluid properties of superplasticized high flowing concrete can be affected by numerous parameters which characterize either the cement, the mineral or chemical admixture, the mix proportion. Particularly performance of superplasticizers used to enhance the workability and obviously plays a key role in the rtheology of fresh and engineering properties of hardened concrete. In this experiment, it is aimed to investigate and compare the each fluidities and engineering properties of high flowing concrete by performance in each 3 kinds of superplasticizers. And there is to aim the considering about fluidity and viscocity, hardened properties of hig flowing concrete.

Carbon nanotubes has a positive effect on the mechanical properties, functionality, and durability of cement-based materials. In this study, carbon nanotube solutions mixed with two different types of superplasticizers were dispersed by high-pressure homogenizer, and used for preparation of cement paste. The 7and 28day compressive strength were evaluated.

Cement paste is the basic material constituting concrete and the most basic data of workability. This study quantitatively evaluated the measured data using a ring flow and a rotary viscometer to estimate the flow of cement paste, and also evaluated the flow and rheology over time. For this, the current work has studied admixtures that affect the fluidity of cement paste. As a result of the experiment, since fluidity and plastic viscosity are inversely proportional to each other, more experimental studies are needed to obtain high fluidity and high viscosity at the same time.

This study was attempted in order to investigate the effects of superplasticizers on fresh and hardened concrete. The experimental program included tests on the slump and slump loss, bleeding, time of set, air content, the compacting, factor Vee Dee, compressive strength, tensile and flexural strength, permeability, shrinkage and freege-thaw durability. The major conclusions that can be drawn on the study are as follows. 1. Superplasticizers were observed to have an appreciable fluidifying action in fresh concrete so that tinder appropriate conditions, they either considerably improved its workability or permitted a water reduction of at least 8-12% to be made while maintaining normal workability. 2. The bleeding ratios of base and S,P. Concrete were much lower than those of the conventional concrete. Differences between the base and S.P. Concrete were insignifician. 3. The setting time was the longest for conventionla concrete, followed by S.P. concrete and base concrete in thatorder. And AE water reduction admixtures showed an appreciable influence on the setting and hardening characteristics of concrete and prolonged the stiffening times. 4. The high initial slump values of S.P. concrete generally decreased rapidly with increased standing time. CF values showed increasing tendencies with the increase of S.P. content, and excessive addition of S.P. caused the segregation of fresh concrete, resulting in its rejection. 5. Though there was a slight increase in strength, no significant differences are observed between base and S.P. concrete in terms of the compressive, tensile and flexural strength. 6. The permeability of S.P. concrete was significantly less than that of the conventional concrete, and the shrinkage of S.P. concrete was considerably smaller than that of the conventional concrete, but there were no significant differences between base and S.P. concrete. 7. Compared to base concrete, S.P. concrete without entrained air tended to slightly increase freeze-thaw durability, and S.P. concrete with an appropriate entrained air gave satisfactory resistance to freezing and thawing.
