β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation in which the effects of sulfates on the initial and final setting times of ordinary portland cement and compressive strength of concrete are investigated. It was observed that the type of sulfate and the ion concentration affect the setting times significantly ; the increase in initial setting time is more prominent. The parameters reduce the compressive strength of concrete at different ages.

The effect of three fillers (ground limestone, dolomite and basalt) on the strength of cement mortars was studied on 1:2.75 mixes having a w/c ratio of 0.70. The filler content ranged from i0 to 40% of the cement weight and their fineness (specific surface) from 1,150 to 11,200 sq.cm per g. Results
