Abstract:
In order to confirm the applicability of Packed-Type Powder Superplasticizers to various types of concrete, we verified the use of the superplasticizers to high-strength concrete, and ready-mixed concrete in two Southeast Asian countries (Thailand and Indonesia). Test results in Japan were also given in the paper. It was found that the use of superplasticizers improved the tested fresh properties of the tested concrete by enhancing the workability.
