How does microsilica affect concrete setting time?
Silpozz Micro silica can slightly delay the setting time of concrete, but this can be adjusted with admixtures to meet project needs.
What is the final setting time of concrete?
it is 120 minutes
How ican extend initial setting time of concrete?
Initial Setting time can be extended by adding retarders during mixing of concrete. Sugar solution is the easily available retarder.
How do you extend concrete setting time?
you can buy primers from you local hardware or diy store to extend setting time
How do you minimize final setting time of concrete?
put less water
What is the setting time of concrete?
The length of time that concrete takes to set, will depend on the temperature. It would take approximately 4 hours for concrete to set at a temperature of 80 degrees.
How does the fineness affect the time of setting?
Setting begins to occur after the concrete is mixed and even before pouring. The cement in the concrete begins to stiffen after mixed with water. The concrete is beginning to change from liquid form to solid form. During the setting process, the concrete does gain strength, which is the beginning of the hardening process. When the water ingredient is added to the concrete mix, the concrete is still pliable and flexible, sort of a paste. There is two stages of setting: initial and final setting. Initial setting is when the concrete loses it flexibility and begins to harden. Final setting is when the concrete can sustain some load, but still has some moisture within the mixture. Hardening
What is the difference between concrete grade and concrete strength?
concrete grade and strength are both revalent since if grade increase setting time will be less and curing to be done propely so that concrete strength will reach higher. If concrete grade is low curing to done longer days upto intial setting time to reach proper strength
What is concrete's setting time?
Dependant on if you have additives with the concrete and how much water is in the mix. In general concrete will achieve 80 - 90 percent strength within in 24 hours

how the water mixed with cement affects the time of its setting
What is initial and final setting time in cement according to ASTM?
Using a Vicat needle, the ASTM determined time for initial concrete setting is equal to or greater than 45 minutes. They set the final setting time is equal to or greter than 375 minutes.
Who are the retarders for concrete?
Retarders are classified as type B or type D chemical admixtures for portland cement concrete in ASTM Designation C494. Their primary function is, as the name implies, to retard the setting time of concrete.
