| Abstract: |
This paper describes sprayed concrete experiments varying the set accelerator dose. Literature on the hydration of cement with modern alkali-free set accelerators is reviewed and two full scale wet spraying experiments have been conducted, varying the dose of set accelerator in each. The effects on the properties of the hardening and hardened sprayed concrete were investigated by field and laboratory testing. Increasing the set accelerator dose was found to increase the rate of early age strength development but reduce density, long term strength and increase suction porosity of hardened sprayed concrete. |
