| Abstract | For this project, “incompatibility” of concrete materials is defined as interactions between acceptable materials that result in unexpected or unacceptable performance. The most common problems are associated with premature stiffening (rapid slump loss) and erratic setting of concrete mixtures (flash set, false set, or delayed setting and strength gain), along with increased risk of cracking and unacceptable air void systems. Proper consolidation, finishing, texturing, and curing can also be disrupted. |
