The Speed of the Crystalline Admixture’s Waterproofing Effect in Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

There have been many experimental measurements of the waterproofing ability and durability of concrete with a crystalline admixture but there are uncertainties about the speed of the waterproofing effect caused by the crystalline admixture. The paper describes water pressure test carried out in different time intervals during the initial phase of cement hydration. The test results have shown that the full waterproofing effect of concrete with a crystalline admixture was available approximately on the 12th day after the concrete creation.
