Abstract:
The author offers a few options for saving a broken-down mixer truck full of concrete, from using hydraulic lines from another truck to chemical additions into a spinning drum to delay setting time. Results of testing of hydration stabilizers, table sugar, and different soft drinks on mortar mini-mixtures are provided as well as in-depth discussion on adding regular and diet soft drinks.
