EFFECTS OF SUGAR AS RETARDER ON THE PROPERTIES OF CONCRETES MADE WITH SELECTED BRANDS OF PORTLAND CEMENT IN NIGERIA
📄 Project Abstract
Hot weather, which is characterized by high ambient temperature and low relative humidity causes rapid setting of cement paste and difficulties during concreting. Admixtures that retard rapid setting of cement paste and modify workability of concrete are necessary to prevent fresh concrete from the adverse effects of hot weather. However, in Nigeria the retarding admixtures are imported and also expensive. Sugar a locally sourced admixture is another substitute that has been established to be a retarder, but its effects varies with the chemical composition of cement. This research therefore assessed the effects of sugar as retarder on properties of concretes made with selected brands of Portland cement produced in Nigeria. The concrete specimens were prepared by using 0%, 0.06% and 0.1% additions of sugar by weight of cement. A nominal mix of 1:2:4 with water cement ratio of 0.5 was used for the research. Setting time tests were performed at two different temperatures; at normal labora...
