Abstract:The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of polycarboxylate type superplasticizers (PCE), and three different retarders (citric acid, tartaric acid, potassium gluconate) and their combination on hydration process and rheological properties of CSA at early age. The hydration process was described through isothermal calorimetry, while the rheological properties were characterized through yield stress of cement pastes determined by rheometry. The results show that gluconate is the most powerful retarder… Show more
