โฆ Synopsis
This paper deals with the effect of two different superplasticizers (Mighty and Melment) on the air-void system parameters produced by two different airentraining agents (NVR and Darex), when the superplasticizer is added some 40 minutes after the concrete has been batched and mixed. A significant drop in air content was observed with corresponding reductions in total air-void surface areas and increases in air-void spacing factors.

The performance of a superplasticizin s admixture in concrete made from palm kernel shell aggregate was investigated. Three concrete mixes of widely differing water/cement ratios were made and each of the mix contained three different dosage levels of the superplasticizer. The properties tested in
The reduction in mixing water of the concrete, caused by the addition of a superplasticizer, depends also on the type of cement used. Superplasticizer based on naphthalene sulfonated polymer acts much more effectively on cement containing gypsum dihydrate than on that containing calcium sulfate hemi
