Abstract

Concrete is the most widely used construction material. It is the second largest consumed material in the world after water. It is used in different ways in the construction industry. It can take any shape it is placed in. This makes concrete a versatile construction material. However during cold weather, if the water in the fresh concrete is allowed to freeze, the concrete will be damaged to such an extent that it is unfit for use. Even if the temperature does not drop below zero, the concrete will not gain strength as quickly as it would during the warmer months. Hence for cold weather concreting we must use an accelerator admixture to speed up the hardening of concrete. An experimental program was undertaken to determine the effect of accelerator admixture on the strength of concrete casted below zero degrees Celsius. Tests on both fresh and hardened concrete were carried out to determine their respective strengths. Different specimens with varying percentage of accelerator admixture and sizes were casted and tested after 7 days and 28 days
