Effect of Superplasticizers on Concrete Properties

What Concrete superplasticizer

Superplasticizers (SPs) can strongly influence concrete rheology: the admixture of an SP can improve the flowability of concrete. Alternatively, at the exact flowability requirement, the water/cement (w/c) ratio can be reduced to improve the strength and durability of concrete. SPs currently used have different origins and properties. Most of them come in a synthesized form derived from the oil industry. The first generation of SPs was lignosulfonate-based air-entraining water-reducing agents. It was followed by the second generation of SPs, which consisted of β-naphthalene sulfonate-based products. The latest generation of SPs consists of polycarboxylate-based products, which are the main SPs in use today, with very complex molecules that yield spectacular properties. Most of these products come in a synthesized form. If sustainability is sought, the industry must shift from the use of nonrenewable, oil-dependent products that ultimately lead to the depletion of natural resources to the development of new renewable biomaterials, which are biodegradable and can be replenished through natural processes. Applications of this approach have been experienced in several areas of industry and engineering. Biological additives for concrete have been developed, such as wastes of antibiotic manufacturing, lignosulfates from scraps of the paper industry, and yeast fermentation waste (YFW). For instance, YFW has been proven to be a polyfunctional hydrophilizing admixture that fluidizes concrete mixtures, mainly due to the action of melanoidin- humin complexes contained in YFW on the surface of cement particles, leading to a decrease in the flocculation of cement particles.

Effect of Superplasticizers on Concrete Properties

Concrete has developed its definition from just being a mixture of cement, sand, and water. It used to be so, however, the advancement in concrete technology has developed this “mixture” of above mentioned various essential ingredients in the fulfillment of several desired properties such as the superplasticizer admixtures. It improves workability, but the effect depends on the type, dosage, and addition time. Water requirement is reduced by 15 to 30 percent, which results in higher strength and lower permeability of concrete. Superplasticizers produce higher than normal workability of 30-60 minutes, and there will be a rapid loss of workability. The slump loss will depend on the initial slump, type of cement and superplasticizer, time of addition, humidity, temperature, and presence of other concrete admixtures. Superplasticizers produce higher than normal workability of 30-60 minutes, and there will be a rapid loss of workability. At the same time, the slump loss will depend on the initial slump, type of cement and superplasticizer, time of addition, humidity, temperature, and presence of other concrete admixtures.
