Abstract
An experimental study was performed to clarify the influence of high alkali content of portland cement on the properties of concrete by addition of potassium sulfate. The results suggest that increase of alkali content in cement not only causes the flash set of fresh concrete resulting in slump loss but reduces the strength of concrete. Addition of blast furnace slag to these high alkali cements makes up for the loss in slump and strength to a large extent.
