A FIELD INVESTIGATION OF WATER-REDUCING, SET-RETARDING ADMIXTURES IN CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND BRIDGE SUPERSTRUCTURES

THE TEST SECTIONS OF REINFORCED PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND DECKS IN THIS INVESTIGATION WERE PLACED TO EVALUATE AND COMPARE THE PROPERTIES OF PORTLAND AIR- ENTRAINING CEMENT CONCRETE CONTAINING WATER-REDUCING, SET- RETARDING ADMIXTURES WITH THOSE OF REGULAR AIR-ENTRAINING PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THEIR DESIRABILITY FOR USE ON HIGHWAY PROJECTS. THE BEHAVIOR OF EACH ADMIXTURE WAS STUDIED WITH REGARD TO THE WORKABILITY OF THE MIX IN PLACING AND FINISHING INCLUDING TIME INVOLVED, REDUCTION IN WATER-CEMENT RATIO, RETARDATION OF SETTING- TIME, AND THE EFFECT OF WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SETTING-TIME. /AUTHOR/
