Plasticizing and superplasticizing admixtures are the key components of nearly every concrete. These admixtures improve workability of mortar and fresh concrete which lead to facilitation of depositing and compaction. Adding of plasticizers or superplasticizers enables to change properties of fresh and hardened concrete, especially to reduce water-cement ratio, thereby increasing strength and durability of concrete or to improve other properties. The main aim of this thesis is to monitor the effect of plasticizing admixtures and their dosage on the rheology and hydration of concrete with emphasis on the development of hydration temperature. The other goal is to examine their strength qualities. Behaviour of plasticizing admixtures is analysed at first on cement pastes, as simple systems, and then verified on concrete.
