Effect of Non-Chloride Hardening Accelerator on the Compressive and Flexural Strengths at Early and Later Age of Pavement Concrete Produced with Pozzolana Cement

Abstract

This paper explains the experimental findings on the role of non-chloride hardening accelerator on the mechanical properties of pavement
concrete at early and later age, produced with Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) as cementitious material. Concrete mixtures were designed as
per revised guidelines of Indian Standards IS 10262: 2009 with varied dosage of accelerator. Fresh concrete properties were studied by Slump test.
Compressive and flexural strengths of standard laboratory specimens, cured with water were assessed at early age and at full maturity.
