Plasticizers (water reducers) are added to concrete to achieve specific desired properties. Identify the INCORRECT statement regarding their effects.
- 1To achieve higher strength by decreasing the water-cement ratio at the same workability as an admixture-free mix.
- 2To increase the workability so as to ease placing in inaccessible locations.
- 3To cause a delay in the setting time of concrete, so as to achieve a delay in hardening, when concreting is done in hot weather.✓
- 4To achieve the same workability by decreasing the cement content so as to reduce the heat of hydration in mass concrete.
Correct answer
To cause a delay in the setting time of concrete, so as to achieve a delay in hardening, when concreting is done in hot weather.
