The Fuzzy Evaluation of Compatibility between PC-HPWR Agent and Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

To evaluate the compatibility between polycarboxylates high performance water-reducing admixture and cement, the initial Marsh-time or fluidity(T), loss rate of fluidity as time(FL), saturation point(P), setting time(ST) and bleeding rate(R) are considered simultaneously. Making the comparisons of these parameters between tested concrete and reference cement, the corresponding membership functions are established, and using the fuzzy mathematical evaluation method based on the program Matlab, breaking the limitation of reference cement, the more comprehensive and accurate evaluation can be made.
