Abstract
This paper presents the results of laboratory work carried out on the Sikament - 163 modified concrete, in order to evaluate the compressive strength at seven, fourteen, twenty-one and twenty-eight days . A series of concrete ( mixes containing 0.5%, 1% and 3% sikament-163 by weight of cement were prepared, cured and tested. Test results show that at 7 days, the compressive strength of the concrete with 0.5% and 1% sikament provides the same value of compressive strength while with 3% the compressive strength decreased. At 14 days, 0.5% of sikament was the best enhanced , while with 1% and 3% sikament it slightly increased. The compressive strength of the concrete at 21 days shows that the 0.5% sikament addition provided good increase while 1% and 3% by 16% were slightly increase. The compressive strength at 28 days indicate that the 0.5% sikament additive was increased while with 1%, 3% were decreased.
