Effect of Various Accelerators on Different Strength Parameters of M - 20 Grade of Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil, Structural, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Research and Development (IJCSEIERD) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, researchers have presented an experimental study on concrete cubes and beams to check the impact of accelerators on the compressive and flexural strength of concrete at normal days of curing. During this experimental study ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was used to manufacture concrete mixtures M-20. Concrete mixtures for the study were designed as per the new guidelines of IS 10262:2009. 3 accelerators potassium carbonate, sodium Nitrate and calcium nitrate were used in this study and both compressive and flexural strength of specimens with different accelerators is are recorded at one, three, seven, fourteen and twenty-eight days of curing with water and compared with the strengthsstrengths of controlled specimens at their corresponding ages. Check the resultsThe check results revealed that the most percentage gain was discovered for calcium nitrite accelerator out of all accelerators at one, three, seven, fourteen and twenty-eight days compressive and flexural strength for the M-20 grade of concrete. Additionally, there's a really very little amendment in 28 days compressive strength and flexural strength with all accelerators for the M-20 grade of concrete.
