Adding too much water-reducing agent will cause the concrete to separate and bleed, causing bottom-grabbing and no cohesion. It will cause trouble for transportation. In addition, because there are many retarding components in it, the setting time will be long, which will affect the construction. Water-reducing admixture refers to an admixture that can reduce the amount of mixing water and increase the strength of concrete while maintaining the workability and cement dosage of the concrete; or it can save the cement dosage while maintaining the workability and strength.
Adding too much water-reducing agent without reducing water consumption will lead to segregation and bottom-grabbing of the concrete
Adding too much water will prolong the setting time of concrete due to too much retarding ingredients. The amount of concrete water-reducing agent has a saturation point. After exceeding the saturation point, the same amount of water can no longer improve the fluidity of concrete, and It will cause the concrete to segregate and bleed.
