    Superplasticizer increases slump of concrete due to which phenomenon?
    Question

    Superplasticizer increases slump of concrete due to which phenomenon?

    A.

    Densification of cement particles

    B.

    Drying of cement particles

    C.

    Dispersion and deflocculation of cement particles

    D.

    Deterioration of cement particles

    Correct option is C



    Superplasticizers are chemical admixtures used in concrete to increase its workability and fluidity without altering the water-cement ratio. They work by dispersion and deflocculation of cement particles, which reduces the inter-particle attraction between cement particles, leading to a higher slump (increased workability) of the concrete.
