- If the cement is too warm, it can make the concrete mixture more difficult to handle. This is because hot cement tends to react with water faster during the mixing process. Impact on Workability: The concrete might set (harden) more quickly than desired, making it challenging to place and shape properly. - if the cement is too cold, it might not react as quickly with water. Impact on Workability: Cold cement can slow down the setting time, and the concrete may become stiff and hard to mold or pour. Need more data please mail / comment thanks
Sir,
What is the effect of cement's temperature on fresh concrete in point of view workability?
Please reply dijiyega
