  • Can superplasticizers be used in high-performance concrete?
  • The utilization of superplasticizers in the production of concrete offers several benefits such as improved workability, reduced water content, and increased strength. Nevertheless, the addition of superplasticizers in high-performance concrete may present challenges due to various factors.
  • Why are superplasticizers important in the construction industry?
  • The advancement of superplasticizers is considered a significant innovation in the construction sector, which has facilitated the creation of high-quality concrete. The construction industry has a pressing need for the development of high-performance concrete.
  • Does superplasticizer affect workability and properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC)?
  • This research examined the effect of superplasticizer on workability and properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Three types of superplasticizers Conplast SP 561, Conplast SP 430 and Conplast SP 264 at different percentages (0, 10, 20 and 30%) with the same water cement ratio of 0.3, with M30 grade of concrete.
  • Can superplasticizers improve cement flowability?
  • Adding superplasticizers to cement provides remarkable improvement in cement and concrete flowability. Such improvement in flowability is, however, not compromised by a reduction in the compressive strength (which is a function of the water-to-cement ratio) of the resultant concrete.
  • Do superplasticizers work in Portland cement?
  • Superplasticizers are used to fluidify the concrete in the field. Most of the superplasticizers helped to maintain high slump values for a time of 30 to 45 minutes. But some of the Portland cement do no behave well with the use of superplasticizers. This problem is understood only by the detailed study on the mode of action of superplasticizers.
  • What is a superplasticizer in cement?
  • According to ASTM C494, superplasticizers are linear polymers that possess a sulfonic acid group. The addition of superplasticizers into a mix neutralizes the surface interaction among the cement particles and thus, reduces the viscosity of cement paste (free from agglomeration) resulting in reduced pore volume.
