Enhancing the Properties of Sulfate-Resisting Cement

Sulfate-resisting cement is used in construction works when a sulfate attack probable. This type of withstands sulfates due to its low C3A content. On the other hand, decrease quantity leads reduction rate early strength development. To overcome this problem, hardening accelerator was added mix. estimate effect on some properties hardened cement, compressive and flexural strength, drying shrinkage tests were carried out. Four series mortar mixes made. The not control series, while it others with three different percentages (of mass) 0.5, 1, 1.5%. results revealed that enhances all ages slightly promotes only at ages. It also observed strongly inhibits strain.
