CALCIUM CHLORIDE IN CONCRETE

CALCIUM CHLORIDE HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY YEARS TO ACCELERATE THE EARLY STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT OF CONCRETE. ITS EFFECTS ON OTHER PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE ARE NOT AS WELL KNOWN. THIS PAPER PRESENTS TEST RESULTS ON THE EFFECTS OF TYPE OF CEMENT, AGE, TEMPERATURE, AND MIX PROPORTIONS ON THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE CONTAINING CALCIUM CHLORIDE, AS WELL AS THE EFFECT OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE ON THE VOLUME CHANGE, HEAT GENERATION, TIME OF SET, ALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTION, RESISTANCE TO ABRASION AND SULFATE ATTACK OF CONCRETE. REFERENCES TO THE WORK OF OTHER INVESTIGATORS AND SOME OF THEIR GENERAL CONCLUSIONS ARE INCLUDED. /AUTHOR/
