Question

Two batches of concrete cylinders were made with and without a calcium
chloride (CaCl2) accelerator admixture. Five cylinders were made of each

batch and submerged in water for different times before testing for compres-
sive strength and the results are shown in Table P6.36.It is required to do the following:
a. Using an Excel sheet, plot the relationship between curing time and
compressive strength of the two mixes on the same graph. Label all axes
and curves.
b. Comment on the effect of the accelerator on the compressive strength of
PCC at early and late ages.
