Hi there,

We have a different mixes with cement varying from 400 to 480 Kgs/ cum. The W/C is kept constant = 0.35 for all the mixes. The mixes are like this

Cement W/C %Dosage

400 0.35 0.5%
420 0.35 ??
440 0.35 ??
460 0.35 ??
480 0.35 ??


Now, the first mix was trial batched and slump was found acceptable @ 60 mins with a dosage of 0.5% of admixture by v/w of cement.

Can you please let us know for the remaining trials for a given slump wheather the dosage of admixture will increase, decrease or remain the same???


With Regards,

Farhan
