Influence of superplasticizer type and mix design parameters on the performance of them in concrete mixtures

Measurements of workability, slump loss, air content, as well as of strength development have been made to reach a conclusion about superplasticizers performance with the use of two kinds of aggregate: one natural (river) and one crushed limestone. Apart from this, it seems that the quantity of fines in a mixture influences the performance of superplasticizers.
