Abstract

This study presents the effects of Potassium Carbon ate (K 2 CO 3 ) on plain concrete. Potassium carbonate as depressant admixture was added in different percentages by weight of cement. The concrete specimens were tested for compressive, flexural and split tensile strengths and the results obtained were compared with those of normal concrete. The optimum percentage of admixture that could be used without harming the properties of concrete was also assessed. The results concluded permissibility of using admixture (K 2 CO 3 ) up to 2.6% by weight of cement.
