Assessing the Effect of Accelerators and Retarders on the Early-Age Compressive Strength of Concrete.
Accelerating admixtures affect the rates of reactions between cement and water to give an overall increase in the hydration rate. Retarding admixtures on the other hand slow down the hydration rate. Thus, the use of accelerators in concrete provides a shortening of setting time and/or an increase in...
