The compressive strengths from the concrete cylinders are the main focus of this report although air and proctor tests were also conducted. The tests conducted in the LAOP conform with the standards approved by the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) which are briefly described in Appendix A of the report. This report will focus on f ...

... only better by less than 4% in comparison to the compressive strengths of the other admixtures. Further details on each of the individual trial mixes can be found in Appendix B. It is recommended that when conducting a program similar to this one that the initial set times and the 24 hour compressive strengths be eliminated as their result reflect to no certain extent how the concrete will stand up over a 28 day period. Abstract Although Lafarge uses similar processes to manufacture cements at a ...
