Abstract |
|
Workability expressed by slump test plays major role in heavy structures with minimum spacing of reinforcement to settle the concrete easily. Melamine Formaldehyde Resin is valueless local material can be used to improve the workability of concrete without affecting the designed strength. Melamine Formaldehyde Resin is allocate to concrete by weight of cement at dosage of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%. Experimental works put forward a satisfactory research by increasing the workability of concrete. Furthermore at the rate up to 1.5% dosage compressive strength of concrete is not affected while at the dosage of 2 and 2.5% there is a small rise of compressive strength. |
