SikaRapid®-1 is a liquid hardening accelerator for concrete and mortar. It meets the requirements for hardening accelerators according to EN 934-2. SikaRapid®-1 promotes early strength development without negatively influencing final strengths. Suitable for use in tropical and hot climatic conditions.
The first step in optimizing concrete is to recognize that concrete is no longer simply cementitious materials, aggregates and water. It is a high performance material with not …
tests were conducted on accelerators or admixtures in concrete for attaining rapid set and early strength. the effect of such admixtures on the compressive strength of concrete and mortar were studied by strength tests using admixtures of calcium chloride from two different manufacturers and three proprietary compounds of calcium- chloride base.
Admixtures are added to concrete mixture to obtain certain properties such as accelerate setting, early strength development, improve durability, enhance concrete cohesiveness for underwater placement, decrease permeability, increase pumpability, reduce water content and many more desire properties.
a) At a given w/c ratio, this admixture increases the workability, typically by raising the slump from 75 mm to 200 mm. b) The second use of this admixtures is in the production of concrete of normal workability but with an extreme high strength (super plasticizer can reduce the water content for a given workability by 25 – 35 percent ...
