Abstract |
|
In this paper we present the experimental investigations on the effect of calcium nitrate on the compressive strength of concrete. Cement concrete cubes of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast using fresh water and calcium nitrate. The constant water cement ratio (w/c) was kept 0.45 by weight for all the mixes prepared. 48 cubes were casted for experiment. They were cured in fresh water. The curing was done for 7, 14, and 28 days, then crushed using the Compressive Strength Test Apparatus at prescribed ages. There was an increase in the compressive strength of concrete for concrete specimens mixed and cured with calcium nitrate. |
