Effects of admixtures and accelerators on the development of concrete strength for horizontal form removal upon curing at 10 °C

Abstract This study was performed to determine the optimal combination of admixtures and accelerators to develop concrete strength (5 MPa) for horizontal form removal upon curing at 10 °C. We used single and mixed chemical admixtures and accelerators considering the unit cement quantity; the slump, air content, and compressive strength were evaluated. The effects of admixtures and accelerators on concrete strength were as follows: Ad
