INFLUENCE OF MIXING WATER ON THE SETTING TIME OF CONCRETE

This paper reports a study of the setting time of concrete as a function of mixing water and the results are presented diagrammatically. To establish the setting time, a set of experiments, in which four concrete mixes were used, were designed, the only difference being in the quantity of the mixing water in each mix. The object was to determine the start and the end of the setting time for each mix. (Author/TRRL)
