ABSTRACT
In this paper, the adaptability of five kinds of cement to polycarboxylate superplasticizer in Guangxi was studied in detail. The water consumption of standard consistency, setting time, fineness of cement, analysis of the chemical composition, and low-light-level appearance of five kinds of cement were tested and analyzed in detail. The adaptability of cement paste and concrete to different cement and polycarboxylate superplasticizer was tested. The test indexes include cement paste fluidity, concrete slump, expansion degree, time loss, compressive strength, and workability. The results show that different physical properties of cement lead to different adaptability to polycarboxylate superplasticizer, and the better adaptability of cement to polycarboxylate superplasticizer, the higher the workability of concrete and the higher the 28d strength of concrete.
